I am not familiar with "adjustable" sway bars. I've only seen/installed plain ones.

Could you explain this a bit since the sensor attaches to the sway bar?

I'm interested in an answer to this question also, if possible. Might go with the euro xenon headlamps.

Thanks!

wazzzzzzzzzzup!?!!

Ben, the results from my crap day are here. My response is about midpage.

Unfortunately, the unanticipated cost has forced me to put the Evosport sway bar purchase off for a week or so maybe. At least this way I can put some solid miles on the Eibachs that are currently installed, and maybe a couple AutoX's to compare to the Evo's...

Thanks again for you help with my issue last week.

The Eibach/H&R springs match is nice. It is somewhat awkward going up driveway lips and steep inclines. I'll lose traction and ESP kicks in. The combo is rock solid on tight turns though. I still can't wait to see what the Evos are like.

With the adjustability of the Evosports and the Eibachs, are those "stiffness" percentages correct? I mean, which settings were used?

My pic, KWiK's comments. Many thanks to KWiK for always hitting up the suspension questions....

KWiK

still curious to hear how you are doing this...

I think the word "avoid" is making this confusing...

Do the bars fascilitate or negate the leveling sensor? How?

Vadim @ evosport

The headlight leveling uses a bracket that attaches to sway bar on the passenger side.

By opening up the bracket to fit over the bar, or tie-wrapping the leveling sensor, you can avoid the complications that arise when some change their sway bars?

Self leveling still works.

oggle

You can do the same with the Eibach ones. Just bend the little U bracket wider and it fits perfectly. That part is only like $5 so if you break it, just buy another one. No big deal.

Thanks for the reply Vadim... and the help last week. Everything worked out...

KWiK

I have done the tie-wrap thing with some eibach sways and the base position of the Xenons is too low. What are you doing different on your sways that would put the position of the sensor mount back at it's original height?

I think pictures would be a big help in explaining this. How about you guys post pics next time you do an install?

i can take a pix of my setup when my bumper is done and on the rack. so you guys can see clearly. but... that might be a while though.. :o

MACH430,

My '98 C43 just had the transmission replaced and it seriously needs to have the tranny software remapped. If you guys can remap the EGS controller, install the underdrive pulley, and maybe do the dyno, I would much rather take it to you guys in Huntington Beach instead of Penske's at West Covina. If I take my car there on Wednesday morning, you think you'll have it done on Thursday so I can drive it over the July 4th weekend?

By the way, by remapping the tranny software, would it affect my already installed ECU upgrade?

Thanks

i would like to purchase. but i am still concerned about the auto-leveling and the sway bars. may i ask what the adjustable feature does? and do you have any pics of the sensor harness? or the "avoiding" the problem pictures?

Mach430

I don't have a picture, perhaps someone here does? The bars are adjusted by changing the link to one of 3 holes in the front, or 2 in the rear. The farther from the middle of the bar (hole selection), the softer the setting.

tommy

Since you guys are the ones selling them, shouldn't you have a picture of them?

I asked for a pic of them several times when I was deciding between yours and the Eibachs, and never saw one. Really, shouldn't you have a pic to post?

A response to oggle's remark about why yours are so special with respect to the autoleveling sensor would be good, too.

tom incredibie

^bump^ no one has a picture?

Mach430

Vadim responded to Oggle 10 posts above.

Here is a pic of the bars, but you really can't tell much by looking at them.

Do I need a lift? I have a couple of drive-on ramps and I consider myself mechanically inclined

Ben, Vadim, Brad:

At the stiffest settings, are the Evosport sway bars stiffer then the Eibach's?

What are the torsional differences between the settings front and rear?

Does mounting the endlink bolt holes on the top increase the risk of contact with the lower control arm?


Thanks guys...

Lynn

A floor jack and jack stands would be very helpful. I think you need to remove the rear wheels to change the rear bar.

If you still want to see a pic of it on the car, I can take one later today. I love my Evosport Sway bars and UD pulleys. UD pulleys helped a lot when I was N/A. People with the C240's should really feel the power drain out of their cars on these hot days with the A/C on full blast. After I got the UD pulleys it felt normal. Like it was a cold day with no A/C on.

tommy

Would they really notice?

nukblazi

Does the pic matter as much as what they do?
