Description
Maximize the cornering potential of your AWD Audi or Volkswagen with the APR Roll-Control Rear Sway Bar, engineered to deliver superior handling and reduced body roll on MQB/MQB EVO platforms with RS Diff/Torque Splitter units. Designed to fit Audi RS3 (2017-2025), S3 (2025-2025), TT RS Quattro (2018-2022), and Volkswagen Golf R (2022-2025), this rear sway bar provides a significant upgrade in stability, traction, and overall driving performance.
Optimized for Superior Cornering
The APR Roll-Control Sway Bar is the perfect solution for enthusiasts who seek sharper handling without compromising daily comfort. Excessive body roll during cornering can lead to unbalanced weight distribution, which reduces traction on the inner tires. This sway bar addresses that by optimizing the spring rate and increasing the bar diameter, which helps minimize body lean and maintain better tire contact through corners. As a result, you experience more precise and predictable handling, allowing for greater confidence during spirited driving.
Advanced Engineering for Maximum Performance
Constructed from high-tensile strength steel, the APR sway bar is designed to withstand even the most demanding driving conditions. Its hollow design reduces overall weight without compromising on strength, ensuring a lighter, more responsive feel. Precision CNC-bent from a single piece of bar stock, this sway bar eliminates weak points associated with welded bars, reducing the risk of failure under high loads. The bar ends are forge-pressed and quench-hardened to provide superior strength, ensuring that the sway bar performs consistently over time. A durable, corrosion-resistant red powder coat finish adds both protection and visual appeal, enhancing the longevity of the sway bar.
Technical Specifications for Enhanced Handling
For this rear sway bar model, we’ve increased the diameter to 25mm with a 5mm wall thickness, providing a substantial upgrade from the stock 22.2x4.3mm (MK8 Golf R / 8Y RS3) sway bar. The result is an impressive spring rate of 583 lbs/in in the soft setting and 672 lbs/in in the stiff setting—delivering a 49%/72% increase over the factory sway bar. These enhancements translate into a more controlled, balanced, and responsive ride, especially during aggressive cornering. Whether on the street or the track, you'll notice improved handling with reduced body roll, making every drive more exhilarating.
