Good find!!! I wouldn't mind some of those for my baby... I've been visiting the Eibach site every now and then and hadn't seen those until now! I sent an email to the eBay vendor I use to buy Eibach stuff (sold me Springs for $199, and I had them next day), so hopefully he lets me know his price soon.

Ahh crap. Just got off the phone with Eibach and the sway bars are still under development and only a few prototypes currently made. The rep said it could be 1-3 months until they are available to the public. I guess the few sites that do sell them are pre-selling.

I could have told you that. They haven't done any test fitting yet since I don't have a set on my car. =x

HUH?! Jav has thunder =x LOL Dude, just remember, I did test fit for the pro-kit. Also, I get a free set of sways even if they don't use my car to test fit, which they most likely will because they used my vin numbers to order all the parts stock parts to measure and stuff =x OHHHHHHHHHHH what now.. =x

I wish they would sell the rear bar separately. I doubt replacing both front and rear would do what I want. Does anyone know if the "sport suspension" has a larger rear sway bar?

Just and update. I talked to Eibach and the new release date has been pushed to September 2007. They are over a year late in releasing this.

Is Eibach still planning on offering them as a matched set, or will the front and rear be available separately?

yes definitely need stiffer stability in the rear. the car understeers. plus if you have a staggered setup there is more grip in the rear so it will just add to the understeer problem. but yes i would like to buy just the rear sways as well. in hopes that the car will stop doing this
