installed eibach sways today...
first let me say it was a bitch to install....the allen key holes on all 4 sway bar linkage stripped on me so i had to use a impact gun and vise grip to take off all 4...and to make it worse...when i was putting the new sway bars 1 hole for each of teh front brackets stripped on me...so i had to tap both those holes...the whole install was just a pain in the ass....for those of you who do it in your driveway...props to you...cause if i didnt have a lift i would have just returned the sways...
anyway....the driving almsot makes up for the installation...i can take bends in the road that used to feel allittle hairy at 80mph at 100mph now and still feel pretty confident...around the neighbor hood they arent too noticable..as the 90 degree turn will cause the car to sway no matter what...overall they overall give the car a better feel in turns...about 2 or 3 times more then what the comptech springs did...

my linkage is shot....these sways are never coming off unless i cut them off...

I just had mine installed last week. Seems like the $45 installation charge was probably worth it; however, when I brought it in to have an alignment done, the guys there questioned whether the rear bar was put in upside down since the small Eibach sticker was upside down. Anyone know whether it's possible, and if so, does it make a difference?
