Good news for fellow f56s

Hi guys, so I just heard back for eibach, some fun news for everyone. They're using my car next week to test fit front and rear sway bars! I know from older minis it makes quite a difference. I should be getting it back in a week or so! Will update if anyone's interested

Nice one... thought Eibach were a German Company and did the R&D there?

Had an Eibach rear sway bar on my R56 and was pretty happy with it, But this time around I went NM on everything. (RSB, springs, end links, control arms) I have the sport suspension on mine and after testing I don't believe the gain is worth the pain to do the front sway bar. That's just my opinion and my situation. YMMV
Slick deal getting Eibach to install for you. Are you getting a good discount on the parts.

I'm giving them the car for a week so they said they'd just leave on the parts after its fitted. Im really curious how much of a change it will be. I'll see when I get it back though. Might be fitting the springs still don't know yet. But their warehouse I went to was huge in corona, about an hour or so out from LA
