Eibach sway bar question

Was wondering if these need to be installed with lowering springs? Would I just be able to install these and be fine or am i going to have an uncomftrable ride?

Dont need to be installed with springs and you'll have a fine ride

Aftermarket sway bars help keep body roll on your car down. They dont really change ride quality other then the fact that your car will feel stiffer. Its probably more comfortable without them if your looking for comfort.

Since like November I think, LOL.

No springs arent required for antiroll bar upgrades, but you big a full set of Eibach bars on and it will change ride quality. If youre looking for better handling without sacrificing ride qualoty(or getting "weird" handling) youre best bet is a set of high quality springs, whether that means stock SS/SC or Sportlines.

It really depends on how thick you go and how it matches your current suspension setup. The car will have a stiffer more aggressive feel, however it may be subject to sudden losses of traction. Some people love their aftermarket sway bars and can feel the difference backing out of their driveways others think their cars feel like its too loose in the rear because of them. Its really driver opinion. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, ill try and clarify anything thats not clear when im away.

Yeh it makes sense, right now i am stock ss/sc suspension.... I'm looking for something stiffer, but i still want to have complete controll of the vehicle. Lossing the back end doesn't sound like fun haha
