H&R 26mm RSB thoughts?

[GTI-CAL]

Hi

Im contemplating upgrading my eibach 25m hollow rsb to the H&R solid 26mm rsb to control some body roll and reduce understeer.

Does anyone have the 26mm hr rsb and feel it is too aggressive for regular driving?

I can't comment on the 26mm bar but I have the H&R 24mm bar and really like it. I feel like its just big enough of a bar for the way I want the car to handle, especially in conjunction with the VAQ diff set to "increased traction".

Same. I just installed the 24mm H&R too and have really enjoyed it so far.

Maybe our friend GTI Jake can clarify...sig says 24mm video says 26mm. Which one are you running? Or did you change?

I am running the 24mm H&R bar. It made a huge difference to my existing setup of H&R springs/Bilstein shocks.

The person who posted GTI Jake's video is not GTI Jake, that's why. GTI Jake is running a 26mm H&R RSB.

I can't imagine using a smaller bar.

For your heavily modified suspension, sure. I have a stock Autobahn with DCC and 235/45-18 tires, and a 25mm hollow bar is perfect.

Nope, my suspension isn't heavily modified and I used it on my stock suspension 2018 GTI too.

APR springs, Koni shocks, and 17" wheels are not stock. I'm glad you like your H&R.

Konis are sitting in garage waiting for install.

Again, I ran the same bar for a year on my stock 18 and 6 months in my 19 stock.

And I'm sure it's a great product. Glad you like it. I like my ST, and I can clearly see why people would like any good RSB on this platform.
