The IE adjustable rear anti-roll bar has been developed for the Volkswagen Golf 8 R and Audi S3 8Y and reduces body roll and understeer whilst providing more responsive steering. Thanks to its solid 25 mm spring steel construction, the car remains flatter and more stable when cornering, whilst maintaining everyday driving comfort.
The stabiliser bar features two adjustable settings, offering a 74 per cent or 104 per cent increase in stiffness compared to the original part. This allows the handling to be tailored to everyday use, sporty driving or track use.
