The holiday finally gave me time to replace the rear sway bar in my GTI again. I’ve had a ST 25mm hollow bar for about a month, but wanted daylight and above 50 degrees. Merry Christmas!

This replaces the 22mm solid SuperPro bar that I had on for the last year. Main reason was that I had the SuperPro on the stiff setting to get the response I wanted, but this caused the endlinks to be at an angle, and this caused it to not be linear.

Now I have the bigger bar for the stiffness and the geometry I want, but can’t adjust to a lighter setting in cold or rainy autocross situations. That’s okay, I only wanted that a couple of times.

The SuperPro bar may even be going to a good home with an Opponaut.

Is “ST” the manufacturer’s name? Sounds like a g ood way to end up with a bunch of Ford parts in your search results when trying to google them.

Technically it is "ST Suspensions" but I'm sure that you are right. Generally I find it when listing parts that fit my car on supplier websites, so didn't encounter that issue myself.

ST is short for Suspension Techniques.

ST stands for Suspension Techniques, a name they used last decade. I have one of their rear bars for my Prelude that I’ve yet to put on after buying it about 3 years ago.

I think that I knew that once. Why the delay in installing the bar?

Other things keep coming up, plus I haven’t bought many other suspension parts to go with it since I feel like it’d be kind of a waste to just do that one piece when I don’t have anything else to go on it.

Suspension Techniques Suspensions ? You gotta be kidding me. That’s hilarious.

All I know is that the instructions have St Suspensions as the logo.

Well, it's all I have changed, and it makes the car more neutral at limit, so even without anything else, I encourage you to install it.
