I think 90% of the forum will say Whiteline because they are solid and quite adjustable

i think the eibach is adjustable as well. i've read some good feed back on them. i just cant make up my mind on the two. the eibach is alot cheaper as well.and it is wider, im not sure if that is better or not....

Whiteline is a solid bar, Eibach is hollow. Cant compare sizes as the solid bars will be more stiff then the hollow bar at the same size.

Solid is best :tup:

Solid or hollow is not the real issue. The real issue is stiffness. Hollow bars can weigh less than a comparable solid bar while a solid bar is more compact (smaller diameter) than a similarly stiff hollow bar.

If circumstances limit the maximum diameter of the bar then a solid bar usually offers the greatest stiffness in the least amount of space. If there are no limits on the diameter then a hollow bar can save weight and offer comparable stiffness.

How stiff are you interested in going? For street use almost any aftermarket bar set will offer you plenty of stiffness. I have the Stillen set with the front bar set on the softest settling and the rear bar set on the middle setting and I have found it to provide exceptional control in street use.

Aren't Eibachs repainted Hotchkis bars? They were on another vehicle I had. I'm running Hotchkis on mine with zero complaints. I've used whitelines on other vehicles and was very happy with them.

I run Eibach and yes they are adjustable. They already have have the bushing lock so the bushing doesn't move side to side.

JDMFairlady21 07-11-2013 11:45 AM

We've installed all of them, but are partial to Whitelines. Just like the solid bar and the amount of adjustment available on it. They come with the lateral locks to keep the bushing in place as well

Eibachs are hollow?? :wtf: they felt pretty solid to me...and they were heavy!! on the other hand, Eibachs are adjustable and i'm very happy with them.

Front or rear? Also, like the user said above, hollow isn't a factor but more of a benefit of less weight. Stiffness is more of a issue. It might just come down to price and ease of install. It's weird that all it takes is an extra hold notched into the bar to be called adjustable but sometimes it's the little things.

front n rear. planning on installing them myself. would a FI 18 exhaust be a issue regarding the size of the bars?
