I'm shopping for front and rear sway bars and I have been leaning (pun intended) towards Eibach.
Has anyone used these and can you comment on them or any other brand you guys use. I DO NOT want to use any bar with bolt (clamp on) lateral locks. Thanks.

My car is a 2016 GT350 track pack with the following mods.
Forgeline GA1R open lug 11x19 on all corners
Michelin 305/30ZR19 pilot sport cup 2 on all corners

Front:
-GT350R front springs (240 lbs-in)
-Cortex front sway bar end links
-Cortex front lower control arm bearings
-Vorshlag camber plates
-Cortex bump steer

Rear:
-GT350R rear springs (914 lbs-in)
-Cortex rear sway bar end links
-Cortex rear lower control arm bearings
-Ford performance toe bearing
-Ford performance IRS cradle bushings
-Ford performance differential bushings
-BMR toe links
-Self make vertical links with rod ends
-Self modified stock rear camber links with Ford performance toe bearing and self made delrin bushings

My alignment settings are:
Front:
-2 degrees camber front
0 toe

Rear:
-1.7 degrees camber rear
1/8" toe in

Just received my Eibach sways yesterday....I decided to go with them because I'm running their Sportlines, wanted to keep them a matched pair.

I almost went with Steeda but changed my mind last minute..

I can relate to that.
I've used Eibach on my fox body mustangs in the 90s but a lot more choices are out today. Are you happy with the quality from what you see?

Yes... when shopping I used Americanmuscle's website...they have many name brands and list their diameters...For the most part everyone makes the same size bar so it really comes down to personal preference and cost.;)

I also took into consideration that Eibach has been doing this for a long time and others have been around a shorter amount of time. I have used Eibach on several of my cars in the past and have always been happy with their products.

I got mine locally for $409...

Correct on the diameter but the wall thickness and forming also go into effect.

I considered whiteline but I'm not to keen on the clamp idea. But they are nice bars.

My stock GT350/R front sway bar is 1.350 (34.29mm) diameter, other than being adjustable, I do not see a aftermarket 35mm front bar offering any advantages. The stock front bar is .220 wall thickness.

The stock GT350R rear bar is .937 (23.8mm) diameter. Wall thickness is .150. Again aftermarket allows adjustable positions but that's about it.


Aftermarket bar questions.
What are the wall thickness of the aftermarket 35 and 25mm bars?
Cold or hot formed?
Hole spacing?
What type of steel is the bar made of?
