Does anyone know where I can get get the rear Eibach Adjustable Sway bar only for the FC?

From what I'm given to understand, you don't need a bigger sway bar on the rear. A lot of racers actually run with no rear swaybar. This is all on much harder springs and dampers than stock setups of course.

how is it adjustable?

bolt on position is adjustable, I believe.

I'm interested to see how much oversteer each position will add.

No one knows?

Most of the stores that I've seen sell them as a kit (Front and back). Currently, I have no need for a front sway bar.

just build adjustable endlinks or buy RB adjustable endlinks........thats where the adjustment is made anyways....

But it's not where the adjustment is made......endlinks adjust pre-load only.

In the manual, it looks like the different mount points affect roll resistance of the Eibach bar.

Ahh, well......

Then my guess would be its discontinued like the host of other eibach products for our niche market car.

I had no idea eibcah even made adjustable chassis mounting brackets for the FC....

It's still sold as part of a kit, but no one sells it individually....

Classic, are you a Eibach dealer? I might be in ontario (GTA) in a month and a half.

I have the Eibach anti-sway bars on my 90 GXL. I have had these anti-sway bars on my car since 1998. The rear bar has 3 holes, spaced about 1" apart, on each end. Depending on which hole the end link is attached will increase or decrease the torsion of the bar. I have been using the center hole on the bar, which probably makes it a little too stiff. I have tried to use the outer most hole to "soften-up" the bar, but the nut on the end link bolt tends to interfer with the shielding around the gas tank. Unless Eibach has modified the bar since I've had mine , it seems that rear bar should have been slightly (~ 3/8") longer to avoid this interference problem.

Do you know where I can pick this bar up? (Just the rear)

Ahh, so it IS just endlink adjustment

And no I'm not an eibach dealer

RoughRex

yes and no, You are changing the point where the endlink attatches to the sway bar, effectively shortening/lengthening the lever and making it harder/easier to twist the sway bar. Adjustable endlinks only adjust pre-load on the bar... at least, this is my understanding.

ahhh I follow now, I had it reversed in my head

I bought the Eibach bars as a kit. As far as I recall, they were not sold separately when I bought mine. You may want call Eibach directly and ask if they'll sell the rear bar separately.

One correction to my last post...the stock end link nuts hit the inner fender well (not the gas tank shield) when attached at the rod's outermost hole. I suppose that one could always buy the MaxdaTrix end links which use a pillow ball bearing, and reverse the bolt so that the nut is position towards the inside of the antisway bar. I haven't thier this yet, but I think it would solve the interference problem.

Do the racing beat endlinks allow for the same nut adjustment as the mazdatrix ones?

ajhehr

I ran one for a while but took it off and found more stability and predictability even drifting but...
if you still want one pm me. I have a used one that Ill never run.

Personally I think it would be good if you jsut had new springs and shocks, but not good on coilovers.

I do have new springs and shocks. Found that the tanabe's gave me even more body roll then stock, so I put my TII springs back on. I'm running Koni struts/shocks right now.

Hot_Dog

The stock end links have no effect on the adjustment. The adjustment is made by selecting the appropriate hole on the swaybar. The MazdaTrix end links, unlike the stock Mazda links, can be installed with bolt inserted from either direction (www.mazdatrix.com/instructions/barlinks.htm). Installing these links with the bolt head facing towrd the outside of the car would probably eliminate the interference problem that I wrote about in a previous post.

I know, I'm asking if you've ever seen the Racing Beat endlinks that are adjustable and if you have do they allow for the same nut reversal?
