Eibach Sway Bar Settings
 

I just purchased front and rear EIBACH sway bars. I have already installed the rear on the middle setting but after looking on the forum I can't seem to find if the softer or stiffer setting on the front is better or worse for daily street driving. I know there's only two settings and I can trial and error my concerns but I would rather get some feedback from the community. Thanks!!! 😃

I would drive it for a while the way it is. Determine if you have an oversteer or understeer condition. From what I can remember, setting on the front affects the rear and vice versa. There was a thread on here (or myg37) that went into great details how to adjust it based on what you're experiencing.

Fwiw, when I installed mine, set the front to the softest, rear to middle and haven't touched it in nearly 5 years. Given your car is lighter with much different driving dynamics this may not be directly applicable :)

Full stiff on the front and full soft on the rear.

Thanks guys I appreciate it the feedback I'm going to start off with the stiff setting up front and middle setting on the rear drive around for a week or so and then adjust accordingly.

:iagree:
Those of us who track. Run the stiffest front bar. The Hotchkis, and run either the Hotchkis rear bar set on the softest setting, run the stock bar bar, or no rear bar.

Thanks Rusty

I just switched out my Eibach sways for Hotchkiss. I initially ran full soft rear and middle up front. I ended up with full stiff up front and my Nismo oem bar in the back. It was much better for me. The first setup would snap under steer which was scary as hell!

What is snap under steer?

The back of the car decides it wants to be the line leader

You mean snap oversteer. That's when the rear steps out like right now. :eek: Understeer is when you turn the wheel, and it keeps going straight. ;)

Rusty beat me to it.

Here's some good reading.

Understeer, Oversteer and how to adjust for it

My mind autocorrected it

Yeah what Rusty said! It freaked me out the first time it happened. I really thought I had broken something in my suspension.

Man, all of this suspension talk is making me want to finally get my setup on my car.

Same here! Going crazy thinking about how to tame wheel hop.

Edit: My oem end links are clattering and need replacing(right after switching To the stiffest setting on my whiteline bar).

Damn going boosted just opens a whole can of worms.
