FWIW I've been very happy with the Eibach rear bar. I was noticing the understeer on a few key corners on my local track... one in particular is an off camber corner leading to an uphill section that becomes the back straight. With the rear bar (I also added the end links) installed I'm far more consistent through that corner with the ability to carry higher mid, and exit corner speeds. It was enough to do what I wanted without overdoing it and heading towards oversteer.
Thanks for the feedback! Springs and rear bar arrives Thursday!!! 😎
posting up a little review on the the rear bar install and driving.
install was pretty straightforward. Just made sure to lube up the bushings. Let me tell I was very impressed by the quality of the bar and the mounts, there quality pieces.
Just like others have said the rear of the car is more lively and fills like it wants to rotate more. Definitely more solid feeling as well more control even on the softest settings.
Hey all,

The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was the lack of zerk fittings in the brackets. No big deal... I drilled and tapped my own, but that's kept the kit at a 9/10 for me. Happy with the parts and the results thus far though.
Has anyone tried Eibach's swaybars on their C8? Happy to hear feedback on aFe's while we're at it!
I'm thinking about adding just a rear bar to tighten things up a bit. Compared to the C7 Z51, Chevy seems to have gone a bit conservative on the C8 Z51's suspension tuning being their first mid-engine. Thoughts/feedback/discussion?
