Hi from down under !

[AusStinger]

That was quick, you will love the upgrade & as @ShannonC says on the fitting & settings.
FYI, it will take no longer than 2hrs for a shop/mechanic to fit front & rear & my dealer fitted mine.

Your dealer fitted yours ?

They didn't give you any grief over doing this ? Like it'll void your warranty or something ?

My dealer had no issues with fitting these and I was in the workshop most of the time observing and asking questions.

No issue, they won’t warrant the aftermarket parts or any issue caused by them.
They are Swaybars been fitted for over 2 years & no issues.

I'm surprised. Just thought they would have resisted, but I guess money is money and with a caveat attached I suppose they're in the clear.

On a slightly different topic, are you wheels 8.5" & 9.5" ? They really fill out the guards well.

Maybe I'll get my dealer to fit mine....

If my Bi-Modal comes in any time soon I might ask them to do the bars at the same time.

Yes they are, with 245/35/19 & 275/30/19 tyres.

Do the rears hit the guards ?

Not at all, rear wheel offset is 38.

Great service from our friends at Eibach Sydney. I'm sure you'll enjoy the challenges associated with fitting the rear bar. FYI most of us set both bars to soft.

"Challenges"

What an interesting choice of words....... I can think of other words I'd like to use !

That forward left nut on the rear bar bracket was a ( insert favorite swear word here ).

Getting the standard bracket off was bad enough but the milled alloy brackets that came with the Eibach bar made that difficult job even worse!

At one point I was thinking about dropping the rear cradle. Thankfully I've worked on enough euro cars in the past and have learned how to handle certain "challenges".

Anyways, its done now and feels great ! Good call on the upgrade.

I set the front to soft and the rear to firm ( for now ) since I prefer oversteer when things get to the edge.

Seeing as how this was the first time I had the car up on a hoist I took the opportunity to have a good look around under there.

I saw some really nice engineering and IMO, some pretty dumb engineering decisions ( like the canister oil filter laying right over the steering rack electric motor. Why?!?!? And I'm amazed at the amount of plastic used in these cars..... ( with sharp edges too, ouch ! ).

Now, having seen the factory exhaust..... OMG I can't wait for my BiModal ( and possibly a few personal 'enhancements').

New wheels on the way so I'll post pics after they're on.

I prefer oversteer when things get to the edge.

How odd. I've never understood a preference for changing steering input. Why not have the steering feel remain consistent, and just go by the "song" from the tires?

Like every subject, everyone has a preference. My setup preference for upgraded adjustable sway bars is in a "manual/stick" RWD, to have med in the front and soft in the rear because I feel more in control of under / over steer, but in an auto ( unless completely over-ridable like an M5 ) I prefer soft in the front and med/firm in the rear so there's less chance of understeer and more control to induce oversteer as required.

As I said though, this is for now and I'll see how I like it and will adjust as required

I’ll be interested to read your opinion of your set up after driving for a while, I’m currently running both f & r in soft.

Got my Bi-Modal exhaust fitted today. Another vital piece of the puzzle sorted !

Now to get the wheels and tyres... ( then maybe post some pics ).

As for the sway bars, really haven't had a good opportunity to push them but any way they're set up, they really are a great mod ! Well worth doing. Now with the exhaust, I'm really starting to feel like I'm driving a 'sports' car.

After seeing the standard rear sections I couldn't wait to get them off.



( Not my picture but you get the idea )
