Ask any Dubhead and they'll tell you, one of the first things you do to your VW is add a good set of sway bars.

So flat you'll step back to the days of training bras, pimples and zits; yeah, flat like that! More than just a performer, these KW bars come with the fitting hardware and are easy to install.
Rumor Has It
Like a scene out of an action movie, Lamborghini pitted its extraordinary limited edition Reventon supercar against an A200-A Tornado jet fighter from the Italian air force in a 3km race. From a standing start, the Lambo leapt ahead and held the lead until around 210mph, when the Tornado blew by to take the victory. Screw the loss, the Reventon still looks as good as anything should with a million dollar price tag. Check out the full story at www.eurotuner.com/auto_news
