Eibach Swaybars

Anybody heard anything on the Eibach Swaybar kit? It's been almost a year.

Half Hope half Lazy.. I know some of them have removed it.. for the most part they posted it because its Eibach.. if they say somethings coming out.. then u give them the trust to say it is... Most never removed it to give them the benefit of the doubt... and i think the ones that still have it listed just dont updated it or are still hoping they will come thru

7Thirty, did you put the FE5 front swaybar on? I'm curious on what all hardware is needed to preform the swap.

Eibach has had these in "re-search" since 2005, and still no time until it is released if they will ever be...

Naw... just installed the rear progress bar and the dc sports strut bar for now... once my springs come in i will see how the ride feels and determine if i want to put the front FE5 bar on. The parts you will need are the bar.. 2 sets of bushings and 2 sets of clamps. U can get it from crateenginedepot for a good price.

It would be cool if they came out with it, I would love to see how unbelievabl stiff a 27mm front bar would be

You dont need clamps to do an FE5 bar install, just two the bar and two bushings...thats it. (not two SETS, just two)

Yea I still don't have the money for it yet so I figured I'd check up on the Eibach setup.

I feel that the Progress rear bar provides the most neutral handling.

I'd also like to get the FE5 rear arm and brake setup but its looking a little pricey.

You should get in touch with Morad Parts....I got both of my axle from them< they were 110% complete, came with axle, brakes, hubs, springs, shocks, park cables,everything.

I paid less than $450 shipped for each axle.

Call em up and let em know to keep an eye out for ya. You may pay a bit more depending on how far it has to be shipped and since they know you want it special(I got mine under Ebay "best offer") but its still cheaper than a bolt on sway bar and a bolton rear disc conversion

On what front bar? FE1, FE3, or FE5? Also, I know its all personal opinion, but with my current set up (Sportlines, Koni Yellows) and hopefully a FE5 front bar and the FE5 rear axle, would the Progress still the "best" in your opinion?

We just got word ours Eibach ones will be here soon also!

The rear is the same diameter as the "Turbo Tech Racing" which is 25MM. It also in the picture above is the lower bar. It Bolts onto the suspension the EXACT same way as the "Turbo Tech Racing" Bar... It keeps the factory bar, and "adds" on a 2nd bar.

The front bar is 29MM in diameter (~1.125")

Many that already have the Turbo Tech Racing Rear Bar can get the front bar through Eibach alone... The Front Eibach bar will be $169.99 + ~$20-25 to ship

PM us if you would like to pre order.

HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!

Are monkeys coming out of anyones ass!?!?!?!

Aaron youre saying they are 29mm front and 25mm rear??? So they are a different size than Eibach had been sayin.....they "were" gonna be 27mm/22mm.....

29mm is a freaking monster. thats 5mm larger than the FE5. Over 110% stiffer!!! I think i wanna try one of these just to see if the front suspension even still works
