Sway Bars - Eibach vs Ireland Engineering

[E30Adam]

I am going to get some uprated sway bars for my 325i Sport but I am torn between the Eibach ones and the Ireland ones.

Which in your opinions would be the better ones to go for and what is the difference between the two?

Thanks in advance

Size.
Ireland's are 25mm front, 22mm rear.
Eibach's are 22mm front, 16mm rear (or 17mm, not sure).

Construction.
Ireland bars are hollow. Very light weight.
Eibach's are not hollow. Heavier.

Adjustability.
Ireland's have a 3 settings for front adjustment and a 'slide adjuster' for the rear---LOTS of adjustment.
I am unsure of the adjustability on Eibach's.

Hardware.
Ireland's come with high-quality billet, rear-upper "trunk" mounts. Very cool stuff.
Unsure on Eibach's, but I expect their hardware is high quality.

Use Ireland's if you want the best swaybars you can get (while keeping stock geometry). They are more expensive, but are awesome.


Also consider Suspension Techniques swaybars. They are 22mm front, 19mm rear. The front bar is non-adjustble, but the rear has 2 settings. They are not hollow, and the hardware isn't the best, but once installed, they are glorious. I love mine.

Sounds like the Ireland ones are gonna be the better ones to go for. I definately want the best there is for my car!

You should definately check out Suspension Techniques at www.turnermotorsport.com. Its a little less aggresive apposed to the IE, but from what I hear, its a little quieter and well worth the money if put to use.
