HELP. Sway Bar Q's...

Zarchery · 12-20-2016, 09:37 PM

Seems like a lot of people love the eibachs. If you get the rear and put it on the softest setting will it still be way too accurate and cause oversteer? Just from reading I'm gathering most aftermarket rear sways aren't much bigger than stock. What about endlinks? I guess I'll be at the "might as well" stage. Seems to always happen when you're working on a car.

Install it and drive it, if you like it keep it on, if not put the oem back on. Endlinks are nice up front but they are not necessary until they wear out for street. Get SPL if decide to get them.

I ran both front and rear Eibach bars for awhile. Even with the rear bar on full soft it was too much. Then again I run a square setup so my needs may not match your's.

I plan on running stock alignment specs.

Thanks for the advice. SPL makes great quality parts. I used them for my rear camber arms. Couldn't get over the quality.

Yea I think once you go squared setup then all bets are off as to how the bars are to interact with each other. I know everyone likes the oem or no rear bar but I couldn't see having more understeer than what I have. Then again I'm not runningnhotchkiss which has like a 170% stiffer than oem which sounds nuts to me.

Op you just got done saying that you like the way the car feels. You don't compete with it or have any or do anything that you could measure as an improvement. You've won. Don't buy anything else.

Sway bars will reduce body roll and for your type of driving that is the main difference you will see. They will also make the car ride a little more rough as the suspension is not less independent.
