After a full week living with the Eibach Springs, no sways. This is one of the best looking cars. Swap the emblems, drop the car on these springs and it just looks jaw dropping. Looks like a true performance sedan. Even gets the gas mileage to match

Same with my car. These springs improve the suspension behavior over speed bumps curves and córners. Seems to me that the sway bars are not required.

It’s interesting to note individual experiences, maybe a comparison test needs to be done.
I have front & rear sway bars only & @Ozstung who only has the springs done & lives nearby, if acceptable to both parties should do a test drive swap to compare the differences.

I guess many people would love to see such experiment done.

I'd be in it ,working the weekend now. Give us a text if you like. Free Monday arvo. Ever tried old bathurst rd , now thats steep and windy. Rex handled it like glue. Good idea though.

I sent you a text & Old Bathurst Rd sounds good, just have to get a day & time suitable to both.

For my Aussie counterparts, Eibach in Sydney only have 3 sets of sways left for order before xmas so get in quick. Ask for John 02 99993655 tell him you got word of it on forum. Just ordered my set today. They hopefully arrive in oz late November.

Looking forward to your opinions, gentlemen - this should be most illuminating ...

Alright, firstly a big thanks to @Ozstung for participating in this test this afternoon & his hospitality & coffee.
The roads we used are quite steep & windy, for those of you with local knowledge we went up Old Bathurst Road then across to & down Mitchell Pass.
We ran both cars in Comfort Mode Only for this comparison.
Our first run was in Ostung’s car with Front & Rear Eibach Springs fitted only, the car is now lower which gives a lower CoG, he gave a good account especially down a very steep hill at speed & the car did not bottom out or tyre rub, overall the car rode very well & firm, but on tight off camber corners I could still feel wallowing & it was more noticeable in the left rear, but it is firmer & much less twitchy than the stock springs, overall I was impressed with the ride but not for me.
Our second run was in my car with Front & Rear Eibach Sway Bars fitted only, I have not driven these roads previously & it was certainly tight & fun in sections, I may be biased here, but on the tighter challenging sections this car rode on rails, I had the window down & no tyre squeal or tearing was evident & this set up suits my driving style completely.
I have asked Ozstung to throw in his opinion as well, but overall, whether you go all springs or all sway bars or both, this type of modification/s in my opinion enchances the cars ability further & in the end it’s up to the individuals driving style & requirements for what mod they apply to this car if any.

Right on Stinger GT SS agreed on all of the above, your vehicle certainly felt like it was on rails and your'e no mug behind the wheel considering you are not familar with those roads. There was next to zero lean on those tight down hill corners nicely handled. Yes the springs weren't bad compared to stock and suit me for my style. But them sways of yours take it to another level. Not looking forward to trying to follow you on this weekends meet. Just as well i planned the route

Thanks guys. Invaluable feedback, definitely just getting sways only.
