Sway Bar Settings

[AutoFanatic43]

Just ordered Eibach springs, AFE rear sway bar, and new adjustable endlinks for front and rear. I'm just curious... for those of you who have swapped out to a bigger rear sway bar... what setting did you use? I'm keep the stock front bar, and don't want the rear set so stiff that it upsets the handling. But, I definitely want it to reduce body roll as much as possible.

I'm in the middle of the Steeda, but in my opinion, I should have gone to the firmest. But I cant say how that would be with lowering springs.

My next steps are 20x10.5 wheels and maybe lowering springs. Not sure on the springs yet. I love the look, but see all of the problems it will create as a lowered vehicle.

I've had good experience with Eibach and H&R springs on several other vehicles, including my Porsche 718. Lowering a vehicle has some minor setbacks, but if done correctly... I believe the pros far outweigh the cons.

New wheels and tires will be the final step my wife's ST. We wanted to get the general stance and handling right first.

My main concern is getting the sway bar in the best setting during the initial install. Was hoping to lean on the experience of several others before I jump into performing the work.

I would go as stiff as possible, but that's just my opinion now.

I think I will end up with 10.5" wheels and extreme contacts, and not worry about lowering. These pirellis suck.

Rear bar full stiff. Return the adjustable end links for a refund, none of them last long. I’ve ran and broken everything on the market more than once and have had no more issues since I went back to OEM.

You don't have any issues with geometry or the sway bars binding up after lowering?
