Eibach Sway Bars
Hey guys, just wanted Eibach Sway Bar owner's input. What settings are you guys running and how does it feel? I originally wanted to run the soft setting in the front (700 lb/ft) and stiffest in the rear (860 lb/ft). I'm also considering full stiff (900 lb/ft front and 860 lb/ft rear) and middle (700, 740 rear). I just want to increase the rear rotation on the car thats why I was going with my initial soft/hard rear setup. I have Swift springs and Cusco strut brace if that makes a difference. Any input will be appreciated!

I like the front a bit stiffer than the rear.

Full stiff front and full soft rear. I like it.
This car (Z) needs the stiffest you can get up front.

Use the gas pedal to get the rear end to rotate, not the sway bar. I originally had mine set full stiff in the rear and the car was a handful. Once I went full soft of the rear (front was full stiff all along), the handling improved dramatically.

I'd probably like the car a little more if I went back to the stock rear bar, but I'm too lazy to change it back. I'd do it if I had the front working even better (camber arms), but the stiff front bar alone makes a huge difference in dialing out a lot of the understeer.

Set mine to stiffest on the front, middle on the rear. Very happy with the setup.
My review when installed is here: (page2) Eibach Sway Bar - Review

I have Eibach's set at soft on front and the middle in the rear at first they it seemed to over steer quite a bit when I was on lowering spring. Now on coils it is much less. I also have SPL front A arms, rear camber arms and SPL traction bars. The car seem to behave better once I went to coil overs. I think the best advice I hear over and over again is to change one thing at a time a see how it works. I know every time I add suspension upgrades and get alignment the car gets better. I figure I will start messing with the sway bars once I'm done with the suspension up grades. I got SPL upper and lower bushing and rear knuckle bushing to be installed some time in the next few weeks...then I will tune things a bit.
I also think we are all different to a degree in how drive and what we are comfortable with. Some like a tad of over steer as it can be controlled by a little braking, while other like a little under steer as it can be controlled by adding throttle. Most modern sport cars are setup for under steer because people when they panic tend to hit the brake!!!
