I'm sorry, let me clarify. I am the Technical Manager for KLEEMANN USA, INC. When I say "our" bars, I mean the Eibach Sway bars we sell. Sorry for the confusion!

All bets are off, no warranties, no promises, just a hunk of metal for $100 cheaper than what others sell it for. And yes you keep all four factory dampers at each wheel if you like. Also, if they don't deliver, Eibach is a mile away from where I work, we can see if any fall off their trucks

Mach430, yes, they have them in their warehouse, or at least they say they do.

OK, let me try to understand this. KLEEMANN sway bars are made by Eibach and as I remember they are at about $450. Now you're saying the Eibach ones are available for $350. Do you mean Eibach make their own sway bars for the Coupe for $350? If so, what is the spec for the Eibach's own version?

I'm interested if the Eibach ones are not pink/purple

More info on our EVOSPORT Adjustable Anti-Sway Bars:

Both bars are about 20% stiffer than stock. The front bar is 3-way adjustable, and the rear 2-way. Each adjustment is about a 5% increase in stiffness. The bushings are similiar to factory bushings, in that they only need to be lubed about once a year, as opposed to urethane bushings which require lubrication approximately every 3 months.

They are the same bars and they are all red.

Not to doubt you but are you sure the same bars that fit the C32 fit the C-Coupe? I ask this because on Eibach's website they show the bar for the Coupe but not the sedans. This may just be an oversite or they never tested it on a sedan.
