Thread: Vogtlands vs Eibach

I don't think the 33 mm vs 34 mm will make a difference to a point where I can actually feel it. I'll buy the GMPP now since it's ridiculously cheap and if for whatever reason I don't like the balance I'll switch to dorman or maybe even stock.

Not sure where you are located, but check the junkyard sway bar good before removing for any signs of rust. While this is a very good and cheap alternative to buying new this job is quite a pain for a novice. Most likely the cradle has to be dropped in the rear a few inches if you cant snake it in there, at least it did when I installed the Dorman on the Impala(should be the same). I've been wrenching for 30 years, and it isn't a fun job but totally doable for anyone with the time and tools. Then you get to repeat the process on your car.

OP theyre 245/45/18 i got dorman front sway bar and gmpp rear sway bars.

Ewghhhhh im gonna go with my friend for sure, hopefully i dont have to do much lol

Oh I also saw this https://youtu.be/R_g2NwAaHRA GP dragging its tail around in what looks like a short autox course.... any idea how he's doing that at such low speeds or is it just his rear tires are bald?

I don't know on the 25mm, but the 22mm has quite a few less bends to it compared to GMPP and stock, so that'd make it stiffer for sure. Post pics of the 25mm when you get it if you don't mind.

Little update, hate to say it but i cant let you know how the 25 mm bar is, there was a 2 wk period before itd ship so i cancelled my order and ordered a 639 friday night nd believe it or not i got my 22 mm bar this morning... literally 1 day deliver, crazy, i even chose the free shipping... my mind is boggled
