    I've had the 034 rsb for about a year on my S3. I've had it on the stiffer setting the whole time. I don't remember noticing an increase in harshness for daily driving. On the track the improvement was very noticeable and gave the car a much more balanced feel with considerably less understeer. I'd recommend it without hesitation although I imagine you'd find a similar result with most of the other offerings of similar stiffness.

    I also had the 034 end links on for about 6 months. I had a problem with one of them rattling so I removed them and went back to OEM. Maybe it's just my bad luck with spherical bearings but I had a rattle from my Eurocode front end links as well.

    Also have the 034 on the stiffest setting, and it really helps the car power on oversteer and put the tail out with ESC fully off if you're tuned. Couple of often empty roads in the desert by me that have hard 90 degree turns that are a blast to slide around. Didn't notice any increase in harshness in daily driving, but I'm a ways from stock.

    My tuning shop actually recommends sticking with the stock end links because they haven't found a set yet where they don't make noise. They've had multiple cars revert to the stockers because of it, so I've stayed away for now.

    I just installed the ED rear sway on Saturday last week at Emmanuele Designs. I had them use my oem end links for now. I have nothing to compare it to other than stock OEM RSB but it feels great and makes the car feel a lot more planted and less floaty. I have the ED springs so figured pairing the 2 would be my best bet and Thomas Emmanuele is great to work with and somewhat local to me for installs.

    Let's talk rear sway bar

    I ran the Superpro with their endlinks on my MQB Golf R. I only had it in the stiffest setting and I found it could get quite tail happy if appropriately provoked. Ive thought about getting the same part for my FL S3 but I really want to stick with 034 this time around for everything since they're a small company and from my hometown.

    Just informational, but brand new end links doesn't mean no preload. No preload means the endlinks were adjusted to remove preload while the car was sitting on a perfectly level surface, such as a setup board.

    I've been leaning more towards their endlinks to avoid rattles, and also the lower price tag
    RC0052RZ-24; I think ECS Tuning probably has the best price on the kit that includes the endlinks.

    To install the endlinks you have to loosen all the bolts outboard of the endlinks along the LCAs. The new endlinks will drop right in. Then just tighten everything back up.

    Also FYI my R was a Maryland car and I did end up breaking one of the stock endlinks when I tried to unbolt them from the stock bar - the pivot was very corroded and it fell apart when I tried to undo it. So I ended up lowering the stock exhaust and working the bar out with the endlinks still attached.

    I have everything from Super Pro and highly recommend them. I was considering H&R as they have high quality parts but they also come with a price tag. I found a good deal on Super pro and ordered them directly from Manufacturer located in Australia and the good thing was the Australian Dollar was at par with our crappie Canadian dollar. I have both front & rear sway bars along with front & rear end links. No noise here and the car handles like it's on rails...oh and yes I've had the back end slide out on me as I have the rear set on aggressive. No affect on ride quality.
