Hey guys. The recent "Sway Bar Options" thread really made me see the light on the eibach sway bars. I'm gonna get the hardcore OTTP sway bar for my autox'ng. But what about the front? I know the stocker is a 24mm tubular sway bar but eibach sells the 29mm! Should I get both?

I'm trying to become a serious autox'er so keep that in mind. And I always love the crazy tight feel on a DD. So for sure OTTP hardcore rear, but yes or no to the eibach front 29mm bar?

 

front is fine, stick with stock. Eibach is overkill, and will result in some stupendous understeer.

Stock with OTTP Hardcore is a good balance, with some oversteer.

 

Front works opposite of the back.

Back: Bigger=more oversteer. Smaller=more understeer.

Front: Bigger=more understeer. Smaller=more oversteer.

By going bigger in the front also, you're partially cancelling out what the hardcore bar would be doing for you.

I'd upgrade the rear one and call it a day honestly. Street for neutral and Hardcore for oversteer tendency.

 

sweet guys. thanks for the info! ive already ordered the OTTP sway bar so I guess thats all my cobalt spending for the month!
