Eibach Front and rear sway bars Review

[*KID*]

Install was a breeze, the rear took about 5-10 minutes to install, while the front took a little more time due to removing the under panels.

So I just installed the Eibach front and rear sway bars on my car. Loaded the vehicle down, picked up the tools quickly to get the car down and out the shop. Down the street, while no cars were around, switched lanes how I normally do and its just amazing with how different it feels.

Now cornering wise, took the car through some streets and taking corners ALOT easier than with stock sways. The car simply just goes to the turn without much effort, feels just great.

The car is currently on stock springs, struts and end links. Monday I should be receiving and installing my Swift lowering springs. The only mod I would like now would be some stickier tires cause with the sway bars on there the car just moves but these stock tires seem to want to loose it a bit. Hoping the lowering springs will reduce that but for now I am VERY PLEASED with the setup.

Front I have them at Soft, and real is set up Firm.

Heres the front comparison. Eibach 25mm front


Rear comparison. Eibach 19mm rear


All Done.

Useful info and good to know! I plan on doing this...sometime.

Curious as I'm considering these and don't have the literature available... How does Eibach explain the differences on the holes and how they affect handling?

I am only DD no track so wondering how to determine what holes/settings to use?

I have eibach pro springs currently. Should've got the sways to start with to... lol

Do you find the car oversteery right now with just the springs?

I like to have little bit of oversteer at the limit, so I set my RCE hollow sways (made by Eibach but different specs) to the stiffer (inner holes) setting in the rear and the softer (outer holes) setting in the front. If you want to try and get more neutral then you can try the softer rear and stiffer front settings.

Whatever you feel is best for your driving style is ultimately what your goal should be, not street vs track. The car will feel much stiffer under compression (in a good way!) overall regardless of street vs track driving.

I had the same question but on the instructions it tells you which hole is for which. Drive it with one setting, and adjust it to where you feel its just right for you.

I just put an order in for these yesterday. I was originally going to go with Cusco but I nearly saved 50% by buying the Eibach.

As for stiffness. the holes most further in (closest to the rod) will produce the highest amount of stiffness. If you choose the hole on the tip of the sway bar it should be a softer setting. That's what I understand based off of the structure and science behind the design.

I have these installed with the eibach prokit. huge difference in cornering.
