Front sway bar options... opinions please

[nibble]

newbie question here: is there any downside when added a Cusco front sway bar?

as for cusco, do both or don't do it at all. when turning around corners on track, if you do it properly, you will feel chassis twisting because rear is rolling while front is not.

if you are driving only on street, use stock. if this is for show, should do both anyway. For drag... Do you need anti-sway bar?

On the street no, on the track, depends on chassis setup. Ignore people that talk about things in absolutes when it comes to all sway bars or none at all. Sway bar(s) are tuning devices.

Ignore people that say the "chassis will twist". This isn't a 1992 Honda Civic. Chassis rigidity nowadays is very high. No human will ever feel a Supra chassis twisting unless they hit the ground from 5,000ft high.

I got mine from Mike @Extreme Power House

Thank you for the support, how was your experience with us?

Some may mention both bars are needed (front and rear) but many cars perform exceptionally well with just one bar added. Personal preference as with so many things. Thanks again for everyone's input... you all are great.

Yeah, I skipped Eibach since they didn't publish their torsion rates.

Below are the rates straight from Eibach.

I've been running an Eibach front bar on the stiffest setting with SPL Endlinks for a year. Sadly the SPL Endlinks have started to clunk, but the bar is great.

For the Cusco sway bar, did you guys get new end links or reuse the stock ones?
Assuming the car is NOT lowered?

I used stock end links.

I also have the Z4 springs and eibach front sway on the middle hole. I had it on the hardest setting for a few days but hard cornering made the outside tire hop/slide. Love it it where it is.

~ I thought of placing it on the softest setting
(rate 1) for its still a vast improvement regarding stiffness over oem.

I installed the Eibach front sway bar tonight. Really straightforward with basic hand tools. I did opt for the softest setting but yet to drive it. I hope to provide additional feedback in the upcoming days.

I've attached a few pics to share.

Glad to hear it was straightforward. FedEx delivered mine today so I'm looking forward to the install (hoping this weekend) once my ECU returns from the latest FEMTO trip. Based on everything I've read for the Eibach FSB, even on the softest setting there's a noticeable improvement. Excited to hear your feedback!

The eibach bar has some real weight and solidity to it over the stock bar. It's beefy.

kinda like Popeye just ate his can of spinach ?

btw, check out forsvara jack adapters for your stands.

~ Note: from everything I've read... the Eibach stamping sits upside down when the bar is installed in the correct position / direction. Seems strange I know.

From another members posting as well... see below.

I should have taken some photos as you did when I swapped mine out but these are fantastic.
Honestly I never drove the car quite enough to really notice a difference in regard to how it would react with hard corners etc but the vehicle is amazing to drive in general. I did not realize how much more stiff the eibach bar was on all settings vs oem. Awesome info
