        Have had Addco AntiSwayBar on the Rear of Vdubaru since May 2011 & the only Dislike

I have toward it is that the DownLinks are the Lowest part of the Rear Suspension, But can

add that in the almost 80K Miles It has been under there , those links have not ever come in

contact with any objects on the ground ~

        If T3s ASB had been available back then I probably would have used that up front & moved

the OEM Front to Rear ~

I think the most common rear sway bar available is the Addco, and in some ways it is junk. Even for the front bar there were different sizes used by VW based on year. Look for a used 21 mm bar if you have the 19. Bolt in with the correct bushings. My 91 passenger 2WD is sporting the 19mmbar and with the 17 inch tires, Bilstein shocks, some T3 suspension pieces and older Syncro.Org springs it works as needed.
