Eibach Rear Sway Bar Rates?

[DagCTR]

Does anyone know the rates of the adjustable rear sway bar from eibach?

The instructions states one hole increases understeer while the other increases oversteer. It doesn't say if those statements are relative to the stock rate? or if they are both stiffer just one stiffer then the other

What setting did you end up using?

i couldnt fit the eibach rsb in on the soft setting so i just used the stiffer setting.

started with the softest setting, then adjusted it to the stiffer setting. Not a huge difference but I do believe I like the car at the stiff setting.

Did you just use the stock endlinks and thats why you couldn't use the softer setting?

i used the stock endlinks. Soft setting made the angle impossible to fit the endlinks in the control arms.

is it better to change sway bar as well as endlinks together?
will Oem endlinks work fine with eibach sway bar?

imo there is almost never a need to upgrade endlinks. These are strong and will last longer than any aftermarket offerings.

I am running the Eibach rear sway bar at the soft setting with the stock endlinks.

How does it feel compare to oem?
And is it possible to set it to stiff setting with stock endlinks??
Thanks

Its a noticeable step up from OEM. Car feels more neutral/balanced and of course, body roll is lessen quite a bit. Turn-in response is noticeably faster. I wouldnt mind it being a little bit thicker but im very happy with how it is now.

Ha, i tried to fit it in the soft setting but the angle wouldnt let it in, so i used the stiff setting. Very happy that happened considering i wouldnt mind an even thicker bar as i mentioned earlier.

Eibach bar is hollow, not solid. Its a great improvement while weighing less. I got it used for $120 and im stoked!!!

Make sure to wrap your bar with teflon tape prior to install. It'll never squeak this way.

Thanks for the details input.
Do you mean I should wrap the bar with plumbing tape??
Eibach is hollow? Will solid sway bar be better?

The soft setting is not much different from stock. Side bumps are a bit more harsh, but turn-in is sharper. You can use the stiff setting with the stock endlinks.

yea, the thin white tape.

H&R infuses teflons in their RSB bushings to make it noise free. Its proprietary i believe.

So teflon tape is the next best option if you do not want any squeaks. Plain polyurethane bushings will eventually squeal.
