I am on the search for anti-roll bars for my Cupra. I finally decided to go for H&R due to their history and R&D. I noticed that it is the only company that takes into account and offers two different sets of anti-roll bars, one for cars with standard lights and one for cars with xenon lights. The first set (standard) of bars has a thickness of 28mm in front and 24mm in the back, while the second (xenon) is 26mm (front) and 22mm (back).

Others like APR and BSH offer anti-roll bars with a standard thickness (front and back) of 27 - 28mm without taking into account the lights.

For H&R I suspect that the one for the xenon lights is softer while the one for the standard lights is stiffer. I am wondering how the bars may affect the xenon lights on my car and how crucial this can be. I need a professional opinion/advice.

Thanks in advance.

I'm only guessing, but could the difference be due to the extra sensors/electronics on the axle/suspension to enable the auto-levelling to work? Seems odd that there would be any significant difference caused by the light units themselves.

I went for the thicker H&R set and it was one of the best additions to my car, exceptional handling, great feeling on the road, much more confidence in every turn, its like I uprated my suspension overall. One step closer to a racing machine :drool:
