Any reviews of Eibach Sway Bars only?

[NS_Stinger]

Hey, Where did you end up picking up the Sway bar and who installed in GTA?

Tdotperformance and I installed it myself.

Well do some research, ask questions on the product quality, I do note they give lifetime warranty. You could be the Superpro pioneer for the Stinger.

ok so spent entire morning conversing with some experts. As expected the local Kia dealership harrigan Kia didn’t want a bar of anything. Weren’t interested in discussing my options with springs and/or sway bar and said they wouldn’t install anything for warranty reasons blah blah blah. f*ck I hate dealerships!
anyway went and saw a suspension expert who my friend told me to go and see. We discussed springs and sway bars and different brands etc. He worked for pedders for 13yrs before moving on. He wasn’t a fan of superpro as their bars are hollow and he’s had issues with them in the past. So that sorted that discussion. Then we spoke about which option to go with and I’ve decided to go with Eibach springs which I’ve just ordered direct from Sydney warehouse as they are really good price and only $50 dearer then pedders/kings branded springs. Will fit them up and see how it feels.
I am currently using a custom setup in the car which has the drivetrain and exhaust set to sports mode and the steering and suspension on comfort. I find that is giving me the speed and sound I crave with the comfort and softer suspension. That’s the main reason I haven’t gone with a sway bar at this stage as it’s only in sport mode that you really notice it.
I will see how the car feels overall with the new springs.
I can’t wait!

Good news, I hope it all goes well & your happy with the outcome.

Eibach is a trusted brand and has a proven product. It's also the most commonly fitted to Stingers worldwide. I can't really comment on other brands only to say I've heard of them.
When I was looking at installers I went to a local and well know suspension specialist for a quote but couldn't obtain anything as they had no idea how long to fit.
I was more than happy to have the Dealer fit them and was in the workshop through most of the process. The front is really easy and should take no longer than 30 minutes. The rear is more complex as access to fixings is restrictive and could take anything from 1 to 2 hours depending on installer expertise. If you can, I would suggest going with a place that has previously done a Stinger.
Both bars on soft setting seems to be the most popular and it most likely complements the differing drive modes better.

As @ShannonC said Eibach is the most trusted brand. Ive got both sways and bars from them. My research over many months lead me to the conclusion that these would be the best choice.
20 months on with the springs couldn't be happier, sways i may wish id set the rear to stiff. My local mechanic took the vehicle in his words for a spirited drive up the nearby mountain and concluded there was some rear wobble. Maybe expected in a near 1900kg car.

I will look into tdot performance. Thanks.

I was concerned with the left screw that doesn't have direct access.

Leave it in your cart for a day or two, they will send you a 5% off coupon if its your first order with them. I assume there will be a Canada day sale also if you can wait until then.

You don't need to wait for the 5% off. Just scroll to the bottom of their homepage and signup to be added to their mailing list and you'll receive a 5% off offer right away. If you want to save a bit more just wait for any Canadian holiday and they always offer a sale.

How about Victoria Day in exactly one week?

Also, I see the front and rear bars kit plus a front bar only, but not the rear bar only. Rear bar only is probably the most popular choice, so I wonder if it is just sold out?

What was the purpose of the metal tape ruler commencing 6.48?

 

[Brandondrums]

Interesting. I wonder how the stock end links and their bushings are supposed to handle the stiffer sway bars..

They are solid with metal ball joint flex mounts. Performance wise you can't improve the stiffness but perhaps they will wear out quicker. No matter, cheap and easy enough to replace. I'd leave them until they actually start making noise or unless you're going with some widly stiff bars in addition to lowering and stiffening up the springs.

Great review of spring and bars combo on here already, but wondering about bars only.

Hey Marc, put Eibach F/R sway bars on my Gt1 a real nice improvement but a little pricey. That's the only suspension upgrade so far. I put my setting on the top hole.took out all most all body lean.
