Eibach sway bar set?

Fly1 Motorsports · 10-19-2010, 03:14 PM

I got the Eibachs installed this past weekend, and I can definitely tell the difference. I'm running stock suspension, and the car definitely feels more planted and confident through corners and frankly even changing lanes (understeer is gone). I have the middle setting on the rears and aggressive setting on the fronts. Unfortunately can't compare to other sways...but no complaints after the first few days...

Stiffer the front would increase understeer.

True...but if I'm not mistaken (which I very well could be), isn't the stiffer rear sway bar the main driver in reducing understeer? In regards to the front, I trusted Lou @ Amplified's recommendation to start w/ the aggressive setting. So far, she feels good though...

Correct. the rear will have to set to the stiffest setting. So you have the front on 2nd hole and the rear on the 3rd hole. I have the front on 1st and the rear on 2nd. I am running 305 tires on the rear.

I ordered a set of these last week as well. I'll be autocrossing with these for the next few months and will let you guys know what i think. Im going to start out with running the front bar on the softest setting, and the rear at either the middle or stiffest setting i think.

I also run 10.5" 285 tires in the front, so it will be interesting to see how that effects it.

G' day mate. I saw your post requesting the photo earlier but didn't have a chance getting under the car. I can take photo of the rear sway. The front is covered by the under panel. I'll try tonight.

yeah 285 width nitto nt05's on a 10.5" wide Enkei NT03+M... all 4 corners. I don't run it on the street, however.

Eibach Sways are going on tomorrow, I guess i'll just start with first hole in the front/middle hole for the rear bar

cotizi · 01-04-2011, 09:24 PM

Had these on the car for a few months now. Taking the car to AX at the end of the month, will report differences between stock bars and these. Currently running softest front, stiffest rear.

NewYorkJon34 · 01-04-2011, 11:35 PM

Well since it's been a month, how do you like them vs stock?
