So the eibach sways just duplicate the sports package sways...I'm glad I know that now if I were to ever upgrade. I would have been pissed if I bought eibachs and they were pretty much the same. H&R's if you own a sport model!

Glad its of use to others. That comparison helped me decide which stabiliser bar to use. Opted for M5 rear and OE & strut brace combo upfront. Ride is now 'tight'.

i upgrade mine to H&R, the front is a little thicker than the OEM, but it's alot heavier (at least twice as heavy), so i won't just look at the thickness for comparison. although i don't see any reason how could a less thick Eibach be better than the solid steel H&R. The OEM seems to be hollow.

i would do both front and rear if you were to do it, i have it done separately and can feel the difference from both bars.
