Well I guess it's the feeling I didn't like.

They did feel different, but less stable, ehh maybe it's just me

The Whiteline front is 25mm solid (OEM is 25mm hollow, hence, less stiff) and the Whiteline rear non adjustable is 19mm. The Whiteline rear adjustable is also 19mm, but with the 3 different holes you could simulate 19mm, 21mm and 23mm

I am not 100% sure but it seems to me the Eibach front is 26mm but the rear is 18mm only.

KayJay and Gary are both right, Whitelines are thicker and harder, but Eibachs should "feel" more stable on the road ON HIGH SPEEDS, there is no way you could drive savely with a setting like a 23mm rear bar on our cars; I think that is hjust the reason why they don't sell a 23mm bar, but an adjustable bar that can sometimes be set on 23mm. For the good description in KayJay's post, I would think the Eibachs definitely improves body roll, but focuses on mixed use and high speed safety. The Whitelines would be more oriented to AutoX, and fun rides on not to high speeds (talking about the highest setting).

Personally, I use my rear Whiteline on the middle setting all the time, and except with wet pavement, which is very rare where I live, I have not onced felt insecure on the Highway, at aprox. 110MPH; I have also tried them on a twisty mountain road (did you know Peru has paved roads from see level to 4000m over see level?) at aprox. 80MPH on very hard driving and didn't feel the rear end loose. A couple of times I have gone into the mountain roads that take you to the see level to 4000m high in just over 40 minutes, IT IS A LOT OF FUN! and the bars have been a great improvement over stock setting.
I have NOT tried the stiffest setting on the highway, and thanks to KayJay's post, I don't think I will.

Eibach, Front 26mm is correct, rear is a smidge over 20mm

But I think it's a matter of preference smile.gif And as well the spring and strut setup.

Whitelines catalogue says the rear is 20mm, which can be adjusted to simulate a larger diameter.
The catalogue says the front is 24mm.


I just got done buying it online and I'll verify whatever you guys want when I get it. Can't wait! fing02.gif

has anyone considered H&R sway bars? I personally own the H&R Race Springs and i love em, and will be getting the H& R Sways, later, when i get the moolah of course. But i think they were pretty freakin thick, and for those of you who already have the H & R Springs, why not match the sways to em, its a great company, German actually, and here on the audobahn it'd probably be a blast. i can take every turn at like 120MPH without ever getting out of my lane, i usually can do about 60-80km/H over the recomended speed on each turn, w/out ANY problem just w/the springs. go with the H & R's, i believe tire rack has em
