Ok guys I know all the lingo here but I need help identifying the torsion bars in my 9 car. I am going to be replacing them but it helps knowing where you are starting to decide where I am going so to speak

It is a stock swing axle torsion housing with an adjuster in it. The bars have stamped on the outside 1125 1091 I am assuming they are 25mm bars but that is all I got.

Any ideas?

Did you try measuring them with a pair of calipers? You can get decent ones at HF for <$15. I've found that they come in VERY handy.

I would think stock 22-25?
I have a set of good 27mm 4 sale :wink:

They are still in the car and will most likely be pulled out this weekend.

Nice try on the sale but I will most likely be going with 24mm bars in this car... its only a single seater with a lot of shock.

Here is a pic or what it will be and what it is currently.

Look on Sway A Way's website. They should have listed all the part #'s for their bars. Those #'s sound like SAW part # and date code on the end of the bar. VW bars don't have that info on the ends.

You say you have an adjuster already installed??

Why Not?? Just adjust what you have now.

I am going to a bigger shock and I will put more of the load on the shock vs the t-bar. It will perform better going this route.
