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:






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.

Our ANTI-ROLL-KITS reduce body roll through increased design stiffness over stock bars. The result: increased handling and cornering grip in any performance-driving situation.

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.

Performance Tuned Sway Bars for Improved Handling and Reduced Body-Roll
Perfectly Balanced for Optimum Neutral-Steering Handling and Precise Turn-In Response
Precision Engineered and Calibrated for PRO-KIT and SPORTLINE Performance Spring Kits
Eibach Hi-Tensile Steel Alloy, Cold-Formed, Tempered and Shot-Peened for Long-Lasting Performance and Durability
Greasable Urethane Bushings For Increased Responsiveness
Precision Forged Ends and OEM Style Pressed Bushing Locaters (No Welding Or Weak Points Here)
Million-Mile Warranty

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.

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?

That is totally going to be driver dependent. Something you would have to find out for your own style of driving. And honestly, to give you what I think would be neutral I will have to install these and do some testing once they arrive.

I assume everyone is down for a good review on that?

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!

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.
