What happened the the Eibach sway bars?

[Bigtuna00]

Eibach had sway bars listed on their site for pre-order for months. You can still find the page links with a google search, but the pages themselves are gone. Anyone aware of what happened? I'm guessing they didn't get enough pre-order demand but crowd-sourcing your outlay is kind of a crappy way for a big company like that to do business

Yea I saw their fb post with their collab with superstreet and asked for an update. No response.
Shot them an email asking for an update as well. No response.

Yeah, I went to order them early this week (they had told me mid November release), and was confused to see the preorder link removed.

Odd, I don't see them on the eibach site, but they are showing availability in inventory for the rear bars at least.

I heard from Whiteline that they should have rear bars in the next 1-2 months.

Did we ever even get info on the difference between these and UP sways other than color?

 

[Bigtuna00]

The Eibach bars were only 2-way adjustable, UP bars are 3-way. EDIT: looks like the front was 3-way, rear was 2-way on Eibach. UP is 3-way for both.

I didn't notice this before but Tire Rack has the sways listed at $396, and can be placed on back order.

I have the Up’s installed and I am very happy. Best setting for me with staggered wheels is front set to soft and rear to medium. Nearly eliminates understeer.

How's the daily driving ride quality? I'm lowered on Eibachs and looking at getting both with your same settings. Was it much harsher when not pushing the car?

I have Unplugged Performance coilovers. I initially had lowering springs but hated it. Looked great, but the ride wasn’t. The problem with only lowering springs is the dampening of the car was designed for the default ride height. With coilovers and the sways I am very very pleased. That said, I went with all Unplugged due to the fact that I can have it legally homologated here in Switzerland. We don’t have any MPP vendors here that went through that hassle. Anyway, I typically run the coilovers at 12 clicks (sport setting) and have the car lowered 30mm. It’s ideal for me!

I'm more looking for feedback on the addition of the sway bars and the impact they had on daily driving, if any. Thanks!

I have no regrets at all. I drive in the city on some rough roads daily and am also quite often in the alps driving mountain passes with twisties. That’s why I bought them and couldn’t be happier.

Don't mean to hijack but @webbah have you posted any pics of your ride anywhere online I can take a look at? Are those BCForged wheels?

However, I did order Eibach swaybar kit haven't received it yet but when I do I can post feedback.
