    They really are taking the proverbial **** expecting the same bar to be suited to how many cars all of which are different weights, have a different CoG etc.

    I got mine from Sparesbox on 20% off sale. I think it ended up being $313 + $12.95 delivery so $326 or so.

    It's currently full price but they regularly have sales: https://www.sparesbox.com.au/part/su...rc0052rz-24kit

    Likely the manufacturer uses the same sway bar on multiple vehicles so makes sense that the aftermarket manufacturers would do the same. That's the whole idea behind these common platform cars is that you have the same parts underneath and just different body panels. It saves significant cost in R&D.

    Hey all,

    Is there any other lowering spring options out there besides H&R or Eibach? Would like something a bit more lower than the 30mm drop and specifically for the Tig. I had a look at golf r/s3 oem springs which seem to be popular in the US, they probably are the perfect lowered height but the front and rear load ratings are close to 100-200kg in difference from the Tig to the Golf R.

    The coilover options (H&R, ST, KW, Solowerks) are pretty exxy as well ($3k+)as you’ll need to pay extra to have it DDC compatible or even the delete kits you have to pay extra.

    Has anyone tried the KW/ST Height Adjustable Spring kit? Cost around $1k, front lowers 45mm max and rears 65mm max. DDC is retained

    haven't heard anything about the adjustable springs, but let us know how you go. i'd question its comfort once you start going lower than 30mm - imagine it may get pretty stiff.

    as a side note, if you're planning on upgrading your wheels, you could always go 21/22" to fill up the arches. Best of both worlds (comfort & arch gap loss)

    Just grabbed the Superpro 24mm sway bar by itself for $212 from Sparesbox. The kit with the end links included is still priced near $400. Figured as I’m not lowered and will be using the soft setting on the sway bar I’ll be ok without the replacement end links for now.

    ECS Tuning have some chassis braces that fit mqb vehicles. Doesn't specify the Tiguan but I imagine it would have the same mounting points as the golf r.

    ECS - 020825ECS01-02 - Rear Chassis Brace Set - Wrinkle Red Powdercoat

    This could be another mod to help with body roll for the people that are more after the hot hatch feel for their Tiguan rather than the big boat it is in terms of handling.

    I think I'd only look at this mod after installing the rear sway bar. It's a lot more intrusive having it in the rear of the car. And a pain if you want to lie the seats flat to fit in a load of any description.
