Eibach or Comptech sways? What's a better choice?

I'm about to put on some sways and was just wondering which is a better brand? And what are the pros and cons of each? Have any personal experiences with Either Comptech or Eibachs? Thanks for your input

I asked this about a month ago .. since then there have been about a dozen posts about this exact issue. i feel kinda stupid now that I realize that there probably were those many posts before I posted .. I shouldve searched.

My advice to you, do a search. there's tons of info on this subject. ever since ive gotten interested in this subject, I've noticed a several new posts on this every single week with the same questions, and same answers.

Eibach sways are available for our car. goto www.shox.xom It's not listed, but use that number to call them and order. They should charge $259 for them. I would have gotten those but I got a deal on used Comptech sways for much cheaper so I couldn't get Eibachs.

NeedForHandling,

You, again?! What's your hangup with Eibach? Didn't you read (or remember) a single one of my posts? Get the Comptech's--they got mo' beddah' specs. I did the research on the CarAutoParts.com web site, but I'm not gonna tell you the answers because you're majorly biased and obviously hung up on Teutonic technology. I use Comptech's sways, and I love 'em (especially with my adjustable Koni's ).

That's 'cause Comptech anti-sways develop 20 more HP at the wheels than the "Krautbach" sways--Ja gewiss, Herr Doofus!! Like the man said, DO A SEARCH--there are lots of postings on this subject.

werrrd...looks like your need for handling is an obsession. Haha..jk. But as for Comptech vs. eibach, IMO metal is metal and all designs pretty much work the same. Many choose eibach I guess for the better price towards "bang for the buck" If I see some test results that prove one is better than the other, then I'd go for the better $$ value. (hint: Eibach)

But I'm getting comptechs used for less than 200 so, I'll support Comptech's overpriced resale value instead of their monopolistic prices for new parts.
