Suspension Performance and How to Improve it!

[Ohiocruiser]

2022 works with Eibach no problem (apart from the usual install).
Not sure how practical the rear zerk fittings are, they are on top instead of on the bottom, if there was a low profile 90 grease gun fitting you’d need at least 3 arms to do it, one to hold the fitting on the zerk, one to hold the grease gun and one to pump.

Wow. How many hands does it take you to change a light bulb?. On the side note, you don't need to keep fitting on the zerk. Once you push it, it stays.

I’m not sure you realize how little space there is. A traditional flex head grease gun fitting won’t work for sure. Have you done this with the bars in place and what did you use?

I used rubber bushings to replace polyurethane ones on my rear eibach bar. From what i remember, it is tight in there, but it is not that bad.

So you haven’t used the rear grease zerks;

Has anyone? (installed)

Installed the Eibach Rear Sway bar today. As everyone has mentioned, it is a pita. The process is incredibly straight forward, the one nut that is just below the fuel filler was absolutely painful. I ended up using a mini ratchet and did able to get the ratchet set on the nut from above and then have to reach up through the rear subframe and get it. My hands were too big to get in-through the driver side wheel well.

So far so good! No squeaks. Absolutely hugs the road and reduces body roll. An awesome first upgrade to build driver confidence.

New here and have been reading up on a lot of good information. I am not at all a gear head so following along and need advice. I’m picking up my 2022 Stinger this weekend. I want to do the Eibach sway bars however I do have a question. It seems some of you have also replaced the end links as well. Is this for both the front and rear? What other mods or improvements should I do? I’m considering going with cold air intakes. Not sure which to go with. Also I’m wanting to add a front lip. Can you guide me in the right direction on we’re to get it? I found some on eBay, which appear to be inexpensive. I also found one on one of the vendors site which are over double the price from what’s on eBay.

The sway bars are a very good start in terms of mods. It's probably the biggest change to the car in terms of handling performance you can do in a single mod.

From what I have read, unless you plan to do a tune on your car, cold air intakes serve no purpose.

Personally I haven't seen a reason to change the links but maybe someone else can chime in on their benefit.

A lot of people have upgraded the coils on the car and I'm planning to get the Eibach coils done as well. They do improve handling and lower the car slightly improving its stance.

No need for endlinks. for eibach swaybars. Coils are a downgrade unless you plan on slamming your car or tracking it. Get the Mando module, as it allows adjusting the compression and rebound of the electronic shocks for the gt2 models. White line and eibachs also make lowering springs.

he means lower springs not coilovers.

+1 vote for Mando box controller. I have mine set to sport all the time basically as that's the only way I won't bottom out on every bump and dip in the road. no lowering springs stock hight but will front and rear sway bars and end links. The end links do help but the sways do a lot more than the end links. The end links make the ride more responsive, the stock ones are too thin and weak in my opinion. Then again I also have chassis braces and subframe collars installed so my ride isn't exactly a sofa on wheels...

 

[Zotto]

Anyone running Eibach springs with the Mando box? and how has that worked for you.

I have the springs installed and thinking on picking up the Box.

Thanks.

Why would coil overs be a downgrade?

Anyone on kw v3 coilovers? If so I would greatly appreciate your feedback because I’m about to lay out $$$$$.
Thanks.

If you end up getting them, let me know what you think. Once we get the suspension on the landcruiser fixed up I want to get a set of the KW3s.

Most definitely!

Search on here. Someone had a bad experience with kw3s not holding up (basically, blowing, and the replacement set also starting to go when he sold the Stinger).

Thank you for sharing I’ll definitely search and see

KWs are generally a good brand so hearing that is pretty disappointing.

My same lines of thought!

I almost went the KW V3 route as well but with reports of clunking noises, I decided not to pursue it.
