Eibach does not make one. They have them on many sites, and have been in R&D since 2005 (3 years ago) last stated they canceled it....

The largest and strongest sway bar is the "Turbo Tech Racing Rear 1.0" 25.4MM Sway Bar" 60 % stronger than the Progress 22MM bar. It has been stated on this forum, that the quality and benifit of the Turbo Tech Racing sway bar is much better than the Progress.

On the universal ones you do...probably on this one as well. It's just a chassis brace; one of those things they actually use in japan but never really caught on here.

looks like you can adjust the center bar on where ever location on the slide thing, i saw a pic of it in 4 pieces, 2 big ones, and 2 side pieces, ok i think i get how to would be nice too and if anything for the price it would be a nice interior ad on...

When I instal mine im thinking of making a slit in the carpet, and putting the "posts" or whatever thru that and then just bolting them in that way so all you see is the bar going across. whats your thought on that dayta since you already have one and can visually look at it?

I have something much better
here is the modification, the subframe bars by U-RaceCars.







Tto give you a better idea what they look like. This is during the install.










here http://www.uslsja.com/index.php?topic=1438.0

I'd go out and put them through the paces but I just installed a new clutch.
