Eibach sway bars

Is anybody running eibach sway bars. I have had it for 6 months now, and have not installed it as of yet....waiting for spring here in the north east. How noticeable is the difference in handling? Is the car alot stiffer? Lastly does it require an alignment?

Thanks in advance

I have them and think they are great. Better turn-in, better lateral transfer at regular and highway speeds. I had mine installed when I did my springs, should save you a few bucks on installation.

These sway bars are the same ones that come in the CLK55 if my research is correct.

I have a thread on here that has the pictures of mine. Keep us posted.

Thanks for your input. I'll definately install them, most likely in a months time.

Where'd you order your sway bar kit from? I assume you only ordered the front sway bar? I'm thinking about getting some Konis or Bilstein sports and might consider an upgraded sway bar to improve the handling a bit. I've noticed my ride doesn't feel as tight as I'd like but then again at least I am only complaining about the car and not the girlfriend too !!

I had my parts guy get them for me, the part number I got from the Eibach website. I comes as a kit, both front and rear sway bars and the new bushings, but the installers only took a picture of the front.

It was $389+shipping+special order fee.

And my girlfriend likes a stiff ride.

I purchased mine at optauto.com it came out to about $400 all in all, just about the same as ghostrider paid

Be careful, it only looks like they are selling the rear sway bar.

I got my H&R Front and Rear Sway bars put on back in January and along with my front and rear tower struts custom made by VIPclk320, my car handles amazingly around curves and corners. If I remember I ordered my H&R swaybars from EvoSport along with their under drive pulley kit.

if you like a stiff ride you should try my strut bars first.
