Does anyone have any experience with the Eibach 19mm rear sway bar? Eibach is a great suspension company with very competitive prices on this product. I am very interested in purchasing this sway bar so all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Realy no one here is running eibach sways or coilovers.

Be the first & let us know.

I was not hoping to be blazing any new trails but it may be a risk I am willing to take, especially considering that we are talking about a relatively simple product made by an experienced company.

 

sounds like a beta tester! they should give you a deal if you're blazing new trails!

 

Very interested to know how this works out aswell. Planning on getting a swaybar soon but want to see how the Eibach one is compared to Alta's since I'm getting Eibach springs..

 

If your blazing new trails please do a pass thru just so you kinda know the trail.

my sister has both front and rear in her regular coopa and she loves it.
Rough ride for most though.

 

Rough ride with sway bars,how so?

sway bars resist twisting forces. That means they resist one wheel moving up while the other stays put or moves down.

Any time your suspension is articulating, the sway bar is trying to resist. Stiffer the bar, the more resistance. That translates into a ride that is more harsh.

 

I guess I am arsebackwards.I have always loved a rough ride so in my feeling it was better for me,lol

Well I just went ahead and purchased the Eibach from JSC. $122 + 17 shipping = $139. A sway bar is a pretty basic piece of equipment so the fact that there is not much info on Eibach's bar doesn't bother me too much and the great price more than makes up for it.

 

The key will be the bushings and whether are not they squeak.

 

I will be sure to add plenty of grease... and then probably some more.

 

I have both the front and the rear...and I like them alot(the price was right too.). No squeeking and handles great. I think the only upgrade that would be worthwhile to me would be the Webb extreme rear bar, so it could be dialed in more. But for an upgrade, I give the Eibachs a

 

If price is a concern, the 19mm H&R is another quality option. It doesn't require greasing, won't squeak and is adjustable.

 

Well the Eibach is on and after taking some turns at around 30mph I can really notice a difference. It's actually pretty incredible. I can't wait to try it on some off-ramps.

Oh, and I have my bar set at the stiff setting - there are only two.

 

Stiff and stiffer?

 

yes, I believe that is how they are labeled

 

Excellent! Takes the guesswork out of everything...

Seriously, good springs and a rear sway bar upgrade are all the cooper needs to be fun!

 

now I just need some springs then
