Eibach Sways

These are great. I have a stock suspension setup and must say that roll stiffness has increased a considerable amount. Install was easy compliments of Sachs Automotive in Troy, MI, kudos to my friend who works there. The ball links were a nuisance to remove probably because of prevaling torque on the 15 mm nut. Anyone on the fence should just give in a buy 'em.

Peace

I haven't done comparos or rode in cars that have had computechs or neuspeeds...but being a fastener and suspension engineer, I can say that anything aftermarket will provide a noticeable difference over stock. My friend rode and drove in my car and said it was on rails.

Ride and handling engineers at OEMs design for ride without sacrificing handling. After going to many meetings with ride and handling engineer's, I would sometimes leave and joke with my boss that they have a calibrated ass. They would install ball links onto their development cars, drive around and say that it was too stiff. Our argument was always, how the f-ck can you tell a-hole? You changed so much geometry since the last time we met that you can tell the difference over one componenet? WTF? That is why I quit my job and went back to school. Anyways, this thread sounds like it should be in ramblings.

The answer to ur question is buy what is within your budget and I'm sure you'll be happy.

I can't imagine the Eibach's not preventing sway better then the CT's. It has to be the same design, and it's thinker. Also, along with the thicker rear, the front is solid.

So that should be a nice linear improvement over stock, and also over Comptech.

i thought the fronts were solid too, but found out later that they are tubular...just like the comptech's.

but, i have no complaints...$250 brand new.
