I have to say that I am surprised that there is no follow-up feedback on the Eibach 911 Sway Bars. The above thread had 81 posts (mostly by a couple of participants installs) and nothing further only serves to raise questions.

Full disclosure, I have now completed my install of the Eibach 911 Sway Bars on a MY84 Carrera Coupe. This is my DE car and I have driven it about 2 hours on the street and highway trying to get a sense of things before taking it to track. The car was not pushed on public roads.

I did not want to modify the chassis and A-arms for a through body bar as I expect to take this car back to stock at some time. I am also using Tarett Engineering rear drop links and had the rear sway bar attachment areas gusseted (still looks stock).

In anticipation of next weekend's DE I did have the car aligned and corner balanced.

I was hoping to receive some feedback so I could get a better idea of what to expect before taking it to the track. I would still like to hear any of the other installs experiences and impressions (over-steer, under-steer?). My first impression is that the ride is marginally stiffer, not as much as anticipated, on public roads within normal speed limits. Front end seems a bit lighter but this could be solely due to stiffer rear sway bar. I will most likely post my impressions after DE next week.

If anyone has anything to add please feel free. Thank you it is greatly appreciated.
