Neuspeed Performance Products? Not really.....
Hi everyone,
I am going to take a minute to get up on my soap box about my experience
with Neuspeed performance products.
I have been using Neuspeed products for years, but now I am realizing
that maybe it isn't the quality of performance products I demand for my
cars.
I have installed on my 97 Jetta GLX, a Neuspeed Upper strut tie bar,
Neuspeed 25mm front sway bar, and a Neuspeed 28mm rear sway bar. I have
been happy with the tie bar, and the front sway bar; but the quality of
the rear bar
mounting bracketry is less than adequate! In fact it is awful.....
I break the Neuspeed rear sway bar mounting brackets, on average, once a
year. Well, I am getting tired of buying brackets for my car.
When I talk to Neuspeed about the problem, I get a two fold answer:
1) We have never heard of anyone having this problem.
2)We suggest that you not run the bar on the stiffest setting.
My reply, "why have a sway bar designed to have the capability to run it
on a setting that is NOT structurally capable of the that setting; and
why have that setting if you are now suggesting not to use that
setting?"
Has anyone else had a problem with the rear sway bar brackets breaking?
I am open to suggestions, on both dealing with a contact at Neuspeed to
rectify this problem; or a suggestion on a different type of rear
bracket for the Neuspeed bar; or a different rear bar that is truly a
"performance" part.
Thanks for your time,
chris
