DETAILS

• 22mm 3-point blade adjustable rear sway bar for MK7 Volkswagen models
• Solid spring steel, silver powder coat
• Includes mount bushings and hardware
• 3 adjustment positions

MK7 Golf R at 22mm
For the Golf R, 22mm provides a balanced rear roll stiffness improvement that complements the AWD system without creating the aggressive imbalance of the 24mm BWR25XZ. For street and occasional track use, 22mm is the correct starting point — the three positions provide flexibility to tune from there.

Other MK7 Platform Models
The BWR25Z covers the Golf R alongside other MK7 VW platform models that share compatible rear sway bar mount geometry. Check fitment for your specific model and variant.

Three Positions
Middle is the best starting position for most MK7 applications. Adjust based on driving feedback and rear balance preference.

The RallySport Take

The street-appropriate rear bar for MK7 VW models including the Golf R. Balanced stiffness, three adjustment positions. Installation is a straightforward bar swap — remove the OEM bar, install the Whiteline unit with the provided polyurethane mount bushings, connect the endlinks. Start in the middle adjustment position and move from there. Adjustable endlinks are a worthwhile companion purchase if the car has been lowered, ensuring the bar operates at zero preload at the new ride height.
