Mitsubishi Eclipse Sway Bars - Eibach Mitsubishi Eclipse Anti-Roll Bar

Sorry can someone move this to Suspension....

Where r u seeing it for 217? Im seeing 217 as the list price for the front only. The full kit is shoing for over $700, then there is a diff 1 for $306.

Am i missing something?

I found them a little cheaper at drivewire.com/performanceparts/eibach/mitsubishieclipseantirollkit.html. They are showing 153.00 and 159.00 with free shipping for the front bar.

Kinalyx · April 2nd, 2008, 11:37 AM

I just called them & as i thought, theyre backordered. ETA is late June/early July. As of now, her best guess on pricing for the full kit is $350ish.

So, none of the bars from Eibach will be out until late June, and pricing is looking to be pretty up there for sway bars. Hopefully progress comes out with a front bar for us. Then the “kit” will be right around $225 total.

Tanabe makes a front strut bar... and an underbrace bar...

360jeepboy · April 7th, 2008, 11:05 AM

Yea well I use to have the front underbrace.(still do) but where I drive and how low the car set the bar just got bent up and keep making the bolts come loose so I just took that it off. If you were road racing it would work good but not for DD.

candyapple · April 15th, 2008, 09:07 AM

Hey guys, speaking of suspension, has anybody lowered their ride if so what issues did or do you have and is a bigger wheel better...and the sway bars i have seen complete kits for less than 350.00. In red and green..ifi find them ill share link..also look at the 2008 ultimate buyers guide....everythuing for everything..very good source.

Theorhetically, if you increase the size/stiffness of the front sway bar, then it will negate the positive effect at reducing understeer that adding the bigger rear sway bar made...

Slippercream · April 16th, 2008, 04:46 AM

FYI, don't anyone make the mistake of ordering this just yet... if you ever had any considerations about getting this.

Eibach's had this "in production" for EONS now. I've practically been nagging on their customer service line since their first promise of June of last year, and had this on order since November.

No matter what the online catalogs say, these are STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

Slippercream · April 16th, 2008, 04:50 AM

Carl, I too would like to know what the significant changes are. As far as I'm concerned the Eibach torsion bars are (both) thicker than anything out there (25mm as advertised). I'd like to see if that holds up to production.

Now as far as my suspension setup is concerned, I am sporting a much wider track on both front and rear. So regardless of whether or not they "negate" any positive steering characteristics from the rear helps me: I need a solid box. Yes, I want four solid corners.

kxwhite · April 24th, 2008, 04:17 AM

the tower bars are great for us GS's which never got one from factory!

Slippercream · April 24th, 2008, 05:22 AM

Weeeeill... it ain't no surprise that Eibach's postponed release yet again to July. Typical.

I just don't buy that "well, it's coming from Germany" crap.

Hey slippy after searching I didn't see a post as to weather or not you actually got these yet. Just wondering if they had realeased them and started shipping yet
