Got my Eibach sway bars yesterday!
Sorry that I had to start a new thread cuz the other one getting too sticky!
Ordered on the 9th shipped out on the 11th and got them yesterday!
Plan to have it install sometimes this week, does anyone know what the correct torque setting I should have on the linkages bolt and the bolt on the swaybar bushings?
My previous sway bar on my other car was not intalled properly or the bushings are not lubed properly on my other cars and it caused a annoying noise over rough roads(I really don't want this to happen on my C32)!

$349 + shipping from www.shox.com(rd enterprise from the back of car magazines).
I am having it put on sometimes this week, so I can't commend about them yet!
I orginally thought about ordering from TireRack but I think the ones that were pre-ordered got all sold out!

Had the Eibach sway bars installed yesterday! 2 probelms araise, the holes that were made in the front bars(to my suprise they are adjustable) were too small and they need to be drill out!
The hols that the front sway bar bushings bolts goes in is very easy to get "un-threaded" so becareful!

let us know how they drive!
Handling improvments? Ride roughness? Does the car become upset going over ruts or holes more than before?

Honestly I think sway bars make a big difference. It feels like night and day in mycar. I just love it. It corners so flat and the rear just seems to pivot. Tell us how your Eibachs feel.
