Finally........AN AWESOME SWAY BARS SETUP!!!

[jlong3382]

Hi Guys,

I've done alot of reasearch lately on sway bars and finally decided I wanted to finish my suspention upgrade with the Eibach 29mm front sway bar and the TTR 25.4mm rear sway bar. I know alot of people on this forum have said things like "The Eibach Sway Bar is way too big, It can't possibly work." or "The TTR Bar is too stiff." This may be true separately, but as a combo they work perfectly together. Now......I want to say that I also have Eibach Sportline springs and 225/40/R18 Dunlop Starspec Tires (pics in my gallery.)

I installed the TTR bar the other night and had the Eibach bar professinally installed yesterday. I haven't taken pictures of them installed yet. I just want to say that after my normal driving and testing this setup for 300 miles in the past two day that:

THIS SUSPENTION COMBINATION IS AWESOME!

Thank you Eibach, TTR, and Dunlop for making such great products!

If you guys have any question please ask.

Upgrade to LNF struts and shocks for even more Awesomeness.

interesting combination, spring steel front bar and a mild steel rear bar.

All you need is Hardcore bar and Pedders.

i might can swing enought for a purple hardcore bar

just get full coilover instead of strut and springs.

Question:

Why would you want such a big front sway bar? I do not see the advantages of having a much larger set up than a slimmer one, like 24-25 mm?

FE5 set-up FTW IMO

the fe5 swaybar setup can be improved. adding a bigger rear bar while keeping the front stock in any car will produce more neutral handling

You should drive the car. The bars with these tires........are amazing.

IIRC the FE5 bar is a solid bar, and the Eibach is a hollow bar

To the OP:
i have your exact setup, only I have Koni struts as well.

Koni struts, Sportlines, TTR rear sway, Eibach front sway, OTTP steering rack spacers, and 225/40 Neven P3000 tires.

Its on rails

this should an interesting setup in about 6 months.

ive been running it for over 6 months. Havent noticed any adverse affects. Yes, i would trade my TTR rear bar for a OOTP hardcore bar in a heartbeat...but that will involve more cash...something i dont have right now. The TTR bar does fine for now

Sounds like a good combo, but do you or anyone you know have that setup? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Sorry if I brought back a thread that was too old...I figured a couple weeks wasn't bad.

What would be good to go with my OTT street bar? I wouldn't mind upgrading the front sway...but that Eibach bar is overkill in my opinion (especially for the rear sway bar I have). Also, not too thrilled about having to do the required work to get the old bar out and new one in....oh well I guess. Would be a good time to install my steering rack spacers and new struts/shocks as well.
