What's the best Sway Bar upgrade?

[Mudpupy]

Hi gang, I'm interested in upgrading my front and rear sway bars. I would like some feedback on who makes the best ones.
I've seen the ARK and see many owners using the Eibach kits. Any recommendations and advise would be appreciated.
Thanks Art

I believe Eibach ones are a little thicker, I'm not sure though. I have Eibach rear swaybar on and it's great. I bellieve the Eibachs also have the grease points on the bushings so it helps with noise. I'm not sure on ther other ones.

Thank you for your response, have a great day.

Eibach sway info:
Front: 25mm
Rear: 19mm
Front is tubular steel and rear is solid. Both are 2-way-adjustable. Urethane bushings with zerk fittings to add grease with gun for maintenance.

ARK sway info:
Front: 27 mm
Rear: 20 mm
Both front and rear are solid steel and 2 way-adjustable. Urethane bushings and grease. No zerk fittings.

Whiteline sway info:
Front: 24 mm
Rear: 18 mm
No mention if they are solid or tubes. I'm guessing tubes just based on the lower cost. Both front and rear are 2-way adjustable. No Zerk fittings.

I installed the Eibach sways on my Stinger and love them. I'm not sure that any of these setups will differ much when all said and done. They help a ton with the body roll and corner feel of the car.

There's a thread somewhere around here with info on installation and tips. The front is a walk in the park. The rear is half-easy and half-nightmare. Make sure you have a long handle ratcheting wrench and a swivel or two and you'll be fine.

At the end of the day, just go with what works best for your taste and your wallet.

I apologize then, I didn't know Ark was thicker, I may have bought those instead. But yes regardless, any sway bar is a huge improvement over stock. It makes the uneasy feeling in the rear disappear.

I’ve been on Eibach since 2018 & I’m very happy with them.

I’ve been searching and can’t find any feedback from Ark Sway bar owners. I’d love to hear some if there are any out there

I've recently heard the Whitelines are a little less stiff than Eibach. But I got a good deal on the whiteline kit on black friday, including upgraded endlinks for the same prices as just the Eibach sways (which were out of stock all over at the time), so I'm not too upset.

Any creaking from your bars?

Nothing obvious. My biggest annoyance is squeal from my non-OEM brake pads, and some sunroof rattling, in that order.

 

[ChaneRZ]

I’m used to the squealing of my aftermarket brake pads lol. I just asked because some user were complaining of creeks from the bushings.

Here’s Ultra Racing’s offering to add to the mix.

My bushings have been quiet on my Eibachs. Just use all of the supplied grease that comes in the kit.

I have the ARKs. they are great. I have ARK GT-F springs as well so I wanted a matched set. While I like the zerk fittings on the eibachs, their bracket looked like it was going to make lining up and tightening that left rear bracket even more difficult, but that's just me thinking out loud.

Front was cake, left rear took about an hour and several different tools. Between the gas line and the other suspension bits, the front bolt on that left rear is a bear. the right rear is OK.

I had some mild creaking over speed bumps, no other noise. I had not applied teflon tape correctly and I didn't use grease thinking the teflon was enough. They've now been re-taped with thicker tape and lubed with the silicone grease provided in the ARK package. They are perfectly quiet now.

Thanks for the comparisons between the brands, I agree they all probably achieve the same performance. As you said it's more personal brand preference, mostly equally priced. I'm going to go with the Eibachs, I like having the ability to grease the bushings.

Whiteline is solid both front and back, not tubular. I have both bars and the end-links on the way, really excited to throw them on.

Where did you purchase?

 

[narsnail]

Where did you purchase?

I can't say, got a good hookup through a mutual acquaintance of my wife. If you're in the US Khar Tunerz, K8 Stinger Store, Ebay, Whiteline USA are all great.

 

[turboAWD]

Where did you purchase?

Try contacting whiteline usa directly and seeing if they'll extend the 15% off sale they just finished early in May for you. There were some delays/hickups with my 25% off black friday deal (they were backordered) and they manually adjusted it and gave me a great deal.

If you are looking for a high-quality suspension sway bar upgrade, I would recommend the Eibach Anti-Roll Kit.

They are very well built and well eliminate a ton of the factory body roll, especially when aggressively cornering.

This kit is one of the few mods that you will instantly feel on the road by dramatically improving handling dynamics.

You can view the Eibach Anti-Roll Kit on our website HERE feel free to reach out at any time if you have any questions at all. ​
