For anyone with an aftermarket rear Sway bar installed over 1.5 years. Do/did you have any squeeking? Looking to get just a rear one. But want one where I don't have to deal with greasing bushings often. A two year interval is more to my liking. Not sure which manufacturer will go longest without having to deal with regreasing.

I have the eibach sway bars, front and rear, for a little about a year now, no squeaking yet.
 
the Eibach sways have zerk fittings, keep 'em greased and they won't squeak.

I've had mine for about 15 months and no squeaks.

I've had my Eibach rear bar on since January 2019; and not a sound out of it. Ironically, the front Eibach started creaking over speed bumps and gutters (mainly entering and exiting our driveway) within a month of having it put on last August. But dry silicone spray has knocked the soft creaking back to almost nil: I've sprayed it on around four times in the last month or so. I think that the blurb on the can is right: If the noise persists, just spray on more. :D That would be true for any brand. I turn the front wheel out, reach in and spray the outer edge of the bushing until the spray starts to drip; then lie down, snuggle in as close the tire as I can, reach around to the opposite (inner) side of the bushing, angle the schnozzle up (very awkward, but I'm getting better at it) and spray until I see drip starting (you can't see the silicone spraying out, because the front undercarriage panel hides it from view). I asked the service guys to check my end links, the mounting bolts on the bushings and the lubrication, on the front bar, but they said everything looks good; i.e. no explanation of why the front bar would "creak": a theory offered was that the thicker bar has more contact surface than the OEM sway bar; though why that would be a reason for "creaking" in the front, and yet the back makes no noise at all, begs the question.

Eibach sways fitted early July 2019 and no issues. I will ask dealer to grease at 30k service due in May.
 
I’m on Eibach front & rear for 2.5 years & no issues, grease nipples are fitted so I assume they get greased every service.
 
Has anyone done the pro plus kit from eibach with springs and sway bar? Wondering if the springs give noticeable difference or just go with the sway bars front and rear. Springs later. Hard to read their website and I’m new to this. Says ride height front .8 rear .8. Is that all the way down to that? Or it’s doing it that much?

I concur.
