I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on some sway bars?

Zero , Ncheung85 ,TJlazer thanks guys !

I ‘m just wondering why such a huge difference from OEM front bar numbers?

Stillen front sway bar hole is 720 lbs. and is only rated at 28.6% stiffer.

Eibach front 1st hole is 730 lbs. just 10 lbs. difference and its rated at a whopping 176 % stiffer?

Hotchkis front, 1st hole is rated even larger by 29% for a total of 205%?

I also found interesting the #2 holes are almost equal in lbs. but really off in actual % numbers.

For example:

Stillen rear bar #2 , 920 lbs. 70% stiffer.

Hotchiks rear bar #2, ? lbs. 75% stiffer.

Eibach rear bar # 3 is only 860 lbs. 60 lbs. less then Stillen and is rated at 230 %, 160% higher then Stillen?

I’m I reading this wrong?

Thanks,

Alex

I also replied your other post. Here is a conversion to percentage on Eibach.

OEM front : 26.5mm - 416 lbs/in
rear: 24.3mm - 374 lbs/in

Eibach
32mm OD front : 1st hole - ~176% (730 lbs/in) >>> ~76% stiffer than OE
2nd hole - ~217% (900 lbs/in) >>>>> 117 stiffer than OE

29mm OD rear : 1st hole - ~167% (625 lbs/in) >>>> 67% stiffer than OE
2nd hole - ~198% (741 lbs/in) >>>> 98% stiffer than OE
3rd hole - ~230% (860 lbs/in) >>>> 130% stiffer than OE

Does it make sense?

Zero,
Not saying there’s anything wrong with your individual numbers per-say ,I’m just saying the numbers are not making sense collectively!

I got what you’re saying, what I’m saying is the numbers don’t compute, when I compare how the similar lbs. numbers produce such wildly different percentages numbers across the board by different manufactures!

For example:
I‘ll but it this way if the 2nd hole - 920 lbs. @ 1” travel 70 .4% stiffer than OE.

Than how can a 3rd hole - 860 lbs. @ 1” travel be 130% stiffer than OE?

One is saying 920 lbs. = 70.4% and the other is saying 860 lbs. = 130%, I don’t understand how in this type of equation a lower lbs. can yield a higher percentage number!!!

Or maybe I’m just looking at it the wrong way.

Anyways don’t lose any sleep over it, I my just have my "of" lbs. and "then" % mixed up! “lol”

No matter the numbers, Eibach are starting to appeal to me, please let me know how you like them and how they are performing for you!

Thanks,
Alex
