Eibach Sway Bar - Review

ZYCOPTH · 09-06-2012, 07:22 PM

Hey, I have the eibach Sways on and it does not change the ride comfort at all. It merely stops the car from rolling or "leaning" in turns. I am sure the other bars are the same as far as not changing the ride comfort.

I like the minimal ride comfort the Z comes with, after the coilover that comfort has been reduced a bit. But liveable...however, when you guys say "riding on rails" that makes me nervous. I travel in the Z so I want the last bit of comfort it has. So could you guys elaborate on that phrase? Thanks for the feedback.

Not sure about other sways out there but mine feel the road 10x more i'd say. Every little bump will try to steer my car, so two hands is a must. Even having the rear in the stiffest setting makes the rear kick out a bit on bumps. I like it because I love driving and response, but if you want a comfortable ride, stay away from the hotchkis sway bars lol.

cant go wrong with eibachs

A little add to the ride comfort question...

General road conditions, no change in ride comfort. The bumps on highways are fairly even right to left and it feels just like stock. Where I feel the difference is when the bumps are only on the right or left side. I mainly notice this on the curvies I drive. They have a lot of 1-sided bumps. If you hit a big one or a couple in a row, you will feel them in your kidneys from the side bolsters on the seat. Stiffer the swaybar, the more you'll feel it.

Just orderes mine at streetsideauto its for 295 but i looked for promo code and found a 25 dollars discount lol. So i paid 270 dollars. I cant wait to install them. I have bc br coilovers im excited. So i shud go soft on front and for rear do midium??? Another thing, do i need aftermarket endlink?

B&W_Evader · 12-14-2012, 03:01 PM

No end links needed.

I like my setup... Hardest on front, Medium on rear

I will add that endlinks are not "needed" with any of the aftermarket sways but they are recommended.

got them installed myself. it was easy. now that i have sway bars and coilovers i was thinking about getting some GTSPEC 6 Point Ladder Brace, do you guys think it would make any difference since i have sway bar. or wud it b a waste of money?

DR_ · 12-30-2012, 01:08 PM

waste of money. That part of the car already has bracing that does the job fine.

Great- Don't change yours then....

on my car, they made a world of difference in the cornering ability of my Z, it definitely improved it over the Stock Sways...

Just installed Eibachs sways also. Soft setting front and middle in the rear. Definitely a notable difference in handling over stock.

I think he was referring to the ladder brace question not the sway bar.

DR_ · 12-30-2012, 07:18 PM

Yes, I was referring to the ladder brace that is not needed. Stiffer sways are a huge improvement on this car. I am thinking about replacing my Stillen with the Eibach as they are stiffer and lighter.
