Does it solve most of the body roll problem? I am about to get a set, but I'm still deciding between Evosport's and Kleemann.

I don't mean to harp on this, but they are Eibachs. Not rebadged, either. If you're in a hurry, they're the only ones to get 'em from; otherwise, wait until the backlog clears, and get 'em from shox or tirerack.

Their price is $475 - check www.kleemannusa.com for dealers. All of their dealers charge the same price. Closest dealer to you is www.pes-tuning.com in Ivyland, PA, unless there are dealers that are not listed in their directory.

The measurements Kleeman posts on their sway bars are exactly the same numbers found on the Eibach website. This discussion came up the first time Kleeman announced that they were available for purchase. People have comfirmed that they are indeed the same bars.

Preyx is right - initially, the specs posted were different at 28/21, but were changed to the same as Eibach's - 24/22.

Not saying that anything underhanded was done, but they are the exact same ones now. Still waiting on Renntech's measurements ...

The original spec would have caused a lot of oversteer because the front would be relitively too stiff compared to the rear.
