S/C Front Sway bar

Anybody have insight on replacement for the front sway bar? I'm not necessarily looking for upgrade over OEM, depends on cost. Just found out after replacing some parts that the previous owner bent it and rigged it to look/feel right until i loosened everything up for replacement.

Eibach Front 29mm, OEM 24 MM, any other options or pros and cons i should know about? I've searched the threads, but there doesn't seem to be much for review on the front bars like there is the back. Would a 29mm even fit without issue?

You could go with the SS/TC front bar. Most have said the Eibach is too big and would really changes the handling.

It's 23mm, but solid bar instead of hollow tube.

yeah, clamps and everything i got, bolts, bushings and everything i'm clear on, just didn't know if it was worth the extra $$ with the reviews and increased over/understeer a bigger front bar would cause.

Thanks for the links man, that way i know i'm set.

I have never seen a review on the eibach.

Most people never have to change them. A rear sway bar and front control arm bushings are a much better upgrade.

I swapped an sc for a tc front bar. It's not a night and day difference but it all adds up to a phenomenal handling little car that turns in tighter on throttle. That's the best. I did it while the front was dropped anyway so no big deal, wouldn't really say it's all worth the trouble otherwise
