Eibach Front Sway: 4.52 kg Eibach Rear Sway: 3.80 kg Stock Front Sway: 3.51 kg Stock Rear Sway: 1.97 kg Also you could theoretically do a more detailed calculation if you measured the "lever arm" length of the various endlink setting holes and added that into the calculation. Shorter lever arm means less mechanical advantage, making it effectively stiffer. Though I don't know how much value there is in trying doing these calculations when really the inner diameter is only a guess.

Anyways, I like the feel of the eibachs, so far I have only tried it on soft setting on front and middle setting on rear.
I was a little concerned when reading the eibach install guide, it basically said don't use the stiffest settings front or rear in the rain. My Z is my daily driver so it sees rain on occasion, should I be concerned about going stiffer in front? I guess I don't really see how less roll is going to make rainy conditions more dangerous.

Yeah I know, I saw that chart before I bought my sways also. I took it with a grain of salt knowing that the inner diameter was a guess(it says so on chart). Not sure who the original creator was. Its still a neat comparison given the limited data available.
