Eibach Sway bars now avalable for the Mach E

[mkhuffman]

Ugh I'm already excited enough. For tires, are you guys sticking with Low-Rolling resistance tires? I wasn't sure if there was a performance platform for those

I just replaced mine with the Hankook ION AS tires. They are low rolling resistance. I am very concerned about range.

I just put them on so I don't have an assessment yet, but they are definitely quieter than the OEM tires. And they handled a hard turn I took last night very well. But I need to do more of that before I can say they handle better than OEM.

I haven’t even unboxed my Eibach bars yet since I misplaced the new end links I bought. ?? My car still has the Steedas on it but they’re still more fun than the original bars. ??

Yeah, I was looking at both options, but the posts I've read about Steedas kinda turned me away.

The Steeda rear bar doesn't have any major issues. There too many issues with the front bar for me to rcommend it. I have the Steeda rear bar and the Eibach front bar. Both on the stiffest setting. It handles great like that.

I may keep this as a second-option

Reviving an old post, but I just ordered my set today! There is a very fun road between my house and my sisters, I used to rip it with my GTI. Tried to rip it with the CR1 the other day, not as much fun.. After reading everything in the thread, this should be a killer upgrade for the price / amount it changes. Plus, the swaybar install looks easier than most cars, so that's awesome.

Aaron, were you able to install the sway bars yet?

Mark helped me put in the front and rear Eibach bars (and had my camber adjusted) and the difference is amazing. Taking sharp corners at speed actually feels really good now. I am super happy with them.

For those who purchased from Discount Tire on eBay, how long did you have the bars in your wishlist or cart before you received an offer?

About a week, I think. ?‍?

Hi Folks,

Just completed my Eibach GT Springs and Swaybar install over the past couple of weeks. Did the Springs first to address the overly stiff GT Stock springs and these Eibach lowering springs knocked it out of the park on improving the ride quality for me. No longer do I feel like I'm going to be launched out of my seat when I go over humps in the road or those little drops right before an overpass. I never experienced any galloping rear bounce issue so these springs were just to soften the ride a bit more.

On to the Sways!. Just got those installed this weekend and yesterday my alignment was done. Boy was Alignment WAY OFF. lol. (As expected).. The Swaybars man WOW what a trip! The steering feels way more precise and nimble. Just point and shoot. I enjoyed driving the MME before but now it's in an entirely different league IMHO!.

I highly recommend this combo. I wasn't really interested in lowering my MME and if I could have gotten a set of progressive Eibach springs at stock height I probably would have but thankfully these aren't super low and seem to only be about an inch lower. The Looks of its lower stance have started to grow on me more and more. The most important thing though is the handling and ride quality have improved tremendously.

P.S. GT w/GTPE Wheels

Great feedback! It's time for me to follow the leaders and get this done! After all the reviews, I am pretty excited.

Getting mine done today (same combo) with an alignment set up for tomorrow. Will report after getting some miles on the car.

Very nice. I went with the KW V3s + Eibach Front and rear. I think yours still sits a little lower than mine when my KWs are set at max height. How's approach and departure angles on the front and rear? How's opening up the front doors near curbs when parallel parked?

Brian, the stance on your car looks great and I’ll say it again, those sway bars are my favorite mod on the Mach-E. Glad your enjoying the overall improvement in ride and handling.

I would have loved the KW V3s had the price on those been a little more budget friendly. ?

so far a complete non-issue on the approach/departure angles. I've encountered one pretty steep exit at a nearby CVS that I was concerned about so I went out at a slight angle and it was totally fine.

I think you do bring up a good point about opening the doors near curbs. Definitely gotta be mindful of those. I tend to park next to those and hug the curb in order to create as much extra space for the adjacent spot so hopefully to avoid door dingers. Not all curbs are created equally. The one at work I was concerned about. It seems sorta like it might give me a problem prior to lowering as not only does the curb seem high there is also grass on top so if my door clears the curb, will the corner bottom of my door eat dirt and grass? Luckily for me, I was able to clear both! my door, barely grazes the top of the grass. Whew! But yeah, best to be cautious and careful when opening your doors next to curbs with a lowered vehicle. ??

Thank you and … ??. Thanks again for being a text or phone call away during my self install. Your help was truly appreciated!
