I've done some searching but didn't come across exactly what I was looking for. Has anybody upgrade their stock rear stabilizer bar and links on their 2.0T 1LT? Not looking for a full suspension overhaul, just want to reduce roll a bit in the twisties.

From my experience you don't need a sway bar, the car has plenty of chassis. Getting rid of the stock 245/50/18 GoodYear 540 tw all seasons will make the biggest difference. So you now have a reason to buy new rims and performance tires. For autocross reasons I'm thinking getting the softest adjustable front sway bar I can find. Trying to help power on overstear, without hindering front turn-in.

I was playing around on some very tight, twisty roads Saturday morning and there is a definite need to stiffen up the rear bar, IMO. Quite a bit of roll. Perhaps I'm just driving too aggressively...nah.
