Eibach Anti-Roll Kit - Press Release
Got news of this today. Front and Rear sway bar kit from Eibach for the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ Images: http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/82105320.jpg http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/82105320-1.jpg http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/82105320-2.jpg Info: Eibach 25mm Front & 19mm Rear Anti-Roll-Kit for 13 Scion FR-S / 13 Subaru BRZ FOR THE ULTIMATE IN TUNABLE SUSPENSION PERFORMANCE, Complete your suspension upgrade with an Eibach ANTI-ROLL-KIT. While our PRO-KIT performance springs are regarded as the primary suspension enhancement components, the Eibach ANTI-ROLL-KIT allows critical fine-tuning of your Scion or Subaru's handling characteristics.

Manufactured from cold-formed, tubular high-strength aircraft-grade steel for precision performance, and finished with a long-lasting red powder coat finish, the ANTI-ROLL-KIT comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions for easy bolt-on installation.

Very nice, Eibach always makes awesome stuff and for great prices too!
Thanks, Rick |
Nice! Do you have any product offerings for a set of front adjustable endlinks to go along with the front sway?
|
Thanks for posting. Do you know if these swaybars have any weight savings (since they are tubular) over the OEM swaybars?
|
There is no weight savings unfortunately. Weight is actually increased due to the additional material.
|
Is FT86 Speedfactory offering these as a kit with the pro kit swaybars? Saw it being offered with springs on tirerack the other day. http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...odClar=Limited

OK, so out of curiousity, with the front and rear adjustable eibach swaybars, what would be the combination of front/rear swaybar settings with the very most neutral handling?

I assume everyone is down for a good review on that? :party0030: |
Yes sir, most definitely I'm down for a review. I'm very seriously considering this package (eibach springs & front/rear swaybars). I had Prodrive springs and Hotchkis (believe eibach manufactured those for Hotchkis) swaybars on one of my STis and I loved that combo for a daily driver. Much more so than a later STi I had with a coilover setup. Subjective opinion of mine, everybody is different. BTW, that is why I originally asked you about potential weight savings of the hollow/tubular swaybars over stock. On that STi setup, the aftermarket hollow/tubular swaybars were actually lighter than stock, but at same time more stiff than the stock swaybars.
I know the "feeling" of the swaybars will be subjective by driver, but I was more interested in which settings create most neutral feel. It would seem that most (not all) would probably be able to agree on something like that, though they might not necessarily prefer a neutral handling car. |

Hey Cap, just to let you know, Hotchkis manufactures their own sway bars. Hotchkis has actually private labeled sway bars for other companies that wanted their own spec. Cheers! :thumbsup: |
You know, it's been so long (bought and installed the Hotchkis competition sway bars in 2004 on my MY04 STi)... You are right. I believe the Cobb sway bars were rebranded Hotchkis. And the Eibach/Hotchkis were always rumored to be the same because they have the same specs, but that was never proven.

I had the early set fitted with 6k/6k springs and the cross talk was quite noticeable at the front. The guy I gave them to had them briefly on with oem springs but they didn't stay on for long for the same reason. Would have been worse with the softer springs. |
kwv3 4k/5k, so softer than yours and if i have the newer set, it'll be worse? any stiffer-than-oem arb will reduce suspension independence anyways
