Lower/rear tie bar usefulness

[chaby_91]

I'm in the process of searching info for the upgrade my sway bars. I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase the Eibach front and rear kit and use it with the OEM end links. 3 out of 4 are almost brand new and I'll change the other one when installing the bars. Experimenting before going aftermarket.

I read that it is possible for large sway bars to cause subframe damage and that adding a Lower tie bar would prevent such damage. How real is this?

Know that I'm not hoping for any handling upgrade with this item, I just want to know if I should use it or if it's nothing but visual. A few people on this forum have it on their cars and I wanted to know if they actually do anything. Actual knowledge, opinions and experiences are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Only useful lower tie bar is...

All the other shiny one in the rear is just for looks, same goes with the C-pillar bar for our cars.

i've had no problems with my progress rear sway bar without a tie bar. tie bars are just a waste of money on these cars, in my opinion.

Been searching a bit more. They're pretty much useless by everybody's standards.

Thank you for your input guys.

Why, what's wrong with the eibach kit.

the rear sway bar isnt that big in the eibach kit and the front sway bar is almost the same size as the stock v6 on(v6 has larger front sway bar than 4cyl) so its almost not worth it imo, itd be better to get a progress or comptech rsb

The rsb is 6mm bigger and is the biggest one that is still readily available and I guess that Eibach made the fsb 29 mm now. Isn't that a big difference?

Recently picked up a set of neuspeed Swaybars, moog endlinks just showed up. I was hoping to get it all installed this weekend but just ran out of time. I'll post my findings after I get them on sometime this week hopefully.
