I'd like to add to Mike-in-orange's response to Turbomangt.

You don't need to replace the front anti-sway bar with a thicker (stiffer) bar when adding a rear bar. An easy way to "stiffen" up the front end if needed is with a strut tower bar.

Like Mike said, it's best to stick with a manufacturer's matching pair when adding a rear bar, that way it's a balanced system.

The cool thing about the Eibach rear bar is that it's adjustable. There are two positions on the rear bar, one is for more oversteer, one is for more understeer. You can custom tailor it to your driving preferences.

I hope this helps clarify and not confuse.

Mike, I thought you were going to PT Tuners for your bars. Did you find a better price? How hard are they to install? Any special tools? Do the springs too?

John

John, my springs and struts/shocks have been on my car for quite some time now. The Eibach antiroll bars are sitting in my garage waiting for the darn backordered rear install kit.

Hey, are you coming to Cali Speedway this Saturday for street legal drag night? Same goes for anybody else in SoCal....PM me if you want directions, times, other specifics. Looks like we've got half a dozen takers thus far.

My Eibach Anti-Sway bars came in and I brought it earlier this evening to have a buddy of mine install it. I helped with some parts of the install, but at one point, it required a 3rd man to help put the rears on with the clamp. We had a hard time holding up the bolt, keeping the clamp tightly closed, then screwing the bolt in.

The only problem I had was the pictures on the install instructions weren't really too clear, but we finally (hopefully) figured it out. The question I have is the 2 settings, which one is the softest setting and which one is the firmest setting. Is the bolt at the of the rear anti sways the firmest setting?

Also, can someone take a pic of their front Eibach anti sway bars, mainly by the bushings. Even though I'm sure we installed the fronts properly, I just want to be sure they are, since the photos on the instructions aren't really that clear.
