I had them on my A2 and they made creeking and banging noises after 2
weeks.  I then cut up an inner tube and make gaskets for my bushings.  This
worked for 6 months.  I got sick of laying on the floor so I removed and
re-installed the VW rubber bushings.  I think I had to use an extra
washer(that makes 2) on the bottom.  They're more trouble than their worth.
Incidentally, I telephoned Neuspeed and they "never heard of such a thing".
 Curious.

Next I installed the poly bushings in my wife's jetta.  This turned out to
be a better combo.  While the diameter of the Jetta sway is adequate, the
linkage is not as "positive" as the Neuspeed.  The poly bushings tightened
up the bar significantly with no problems(yet, about a year).

It's great to have two vehicles which are nearly the same!
