Sways for AUS are made in USA.Thanks man. I know it was a bit old and AWD isn't sold in Oz but..
Bought it of Eibach .au site but it came with all "made in US" stickers and talking AWD, which got me worried. So, there is no difference in the bars for AWD vs RWD? Appreciate the input
Thank you. I didn't know that and thought it was the opposite
Called Eibach Australia this morning, they confirmed that sway bars fit both AWD and RWD. The only differences in installation instructions refer to LHD as opposed to RHD, so where it says to pull the original bar out from the driver side, it should be read as pull out from passenger side for RHD cars.
That’s what I presumed, so good news, when are you getting them fitted?
Excellent, I hope it all goes smoothly for you & I look forward to catching up when you get the DRL’s fitted.
No problem, will let you know when they are on
What city and state are you in? It might help later if you can put those details in your profile. Thanks.No problem, will let you know when they are on
Makes sense. I'm in Sydney, NSW.
Thanks, maybe yes the later models hold up better in the dips and corners.
I read up on the sway bars, mainly here on the forum. Quite a lot of owners were talking about their experiences with them and asking questions. Finally I opted to try the Eibach rear bar on Soft. And that is where it stayed. I noticed an instantaneous improvement on the "stepping out" in the rear, the "floaty" feel I had just taken as a given was knocked down considerably. Mind, I hadn't been bothered by the "playful" rear end of the Stinger: this car is so much more than any other car I've driven in the handling and comfort combination: I wasn't complaining a bit! But it was gratifying to feel no diminishment in ride quality/comfort, and still feel the improvement in carving curves. I've never felt much motivation (no need) to add on the front sway bar.
No doubt. Eibach said that "firm" is for the track.
im in oz too and seeing our setup is a little different here i have a quick question.Did you find the front bar effected ride quality much . i want to do the rear but i rarley drive around with dampers set to sport .Just trying to stabilize that funky rear end without making ride too much firmer
The front bar has a much higher affect on ride quality, the rear has almost no affect on it.
This brings up the question I keep meaning to ask: Are y'all testing your sway bars with various settings? With traction and stability control both on and off? I've seen as many different opinions here about sway bars as I have about exterior color. Lots of good information but as usual tastes vary. The main point I gleaned from reading every post was that the rear needed to be stiffer than the front on this car -- either by installing just the rear sway bar or both with the front on soft and the rear on firm. Having opted for the latter, I am really glad I upgraded. The car feels more "planted" even in Comfort mode with all the nannies enabled. With traction and stability control turned off and Sport mode enabled, it feels ready for the track. Of course, I'm in an area with decent roads and minimal winter weather. I'm sure folks who drive rougher roads or deal with more than 3/4" of snow regularly might have a different experience.
No. My only concern was comfortable ride degradation. Once I had the rear bar installed, and even in Sport Mode the ride felt basically the same as OE rear bar, I stopped worrying over "fine tuning" the ride with the Eibach. As I've said elsewhere, the front bar hasn't attracted me because the ride is good as it is with just the rear Eibach; and when I push through a curve, the rear end doesn't get "funny" like before; only a little bit of side play and virtually no bounce/float. As the rear Eibach accomplished what I wanted, there is no reason to fiddle around with what ain't broke.
I was worried about ride comfort as well. The last thing I'd want is a jittery ride that makes my teeth chatter. I don't find the ride less comfortable - just more secure. There is a nearby on-ramp I like to "challenge" and there is a complete lack of body roll at the top speed I'm brave enough to take it.
I could have written this.
My favorite onramp is a 270 degree cloverleaf (skid pad 
). I can't complain about "body roll" in the least. I feel the tires biting and I keep pushing a little more and a little more, month by month. I already know that the first indicator that I've pushed far enough is a jab of oversteer. If I use higher RPM and feed in the gas, it seems to increase my cornering speed: still playing with this: the oversteer is my indicator, regardless.
