Only true if you go beyond 1.5" of lowering.. H&R Sport springs will NOT
require the new bar, coilovers will if you plan on dropping further than
that.

I wouldn'g to lower than an inch - the oil pan is VERY low on these cars
and many people have smacked 'em wide open.  On my Mk4 GTI I had the
aforementioned H&R's with Bilstein Sports, it was a nice setup.. Potterman
can hook you up, natch.  The drop on my car with that combo was just
about exactly an inch, no swaybar issues at all.
