Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

uprated bars work very well on the 155, whiteline do them as well and are considerably cheaper than the eibach equivalent, if you have a look at the "whiteline ARB" thread in the for sale lounge on 155.org we have a discount sorted which means you can get both font and rear with poly bushes for the front for less than £200 delivered

I'll be ordering mine either today or monday

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

I got the Eibach last October and i can say the difference is big.......the car's control is much better but as 888dee they are expensive as i got the at 55o euro and i waited for 4 months as there wasn't at stock.

if the white line are equivalent and cheaper the go for them.

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

I read some forum. It mention on cornering , the rear will drift slightly. Is it truth? Can you tell me more detail on the benefit? If I change only the uprated anti roll and keep stock spring, will it work?

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

you can cause over steeron the rear by stiffening the rear arb but can be controlled through the front good shocks would help this

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

yeah, 27mm front (+5mm) and 22mm rear (+5mm), 127%/180% stiffer than original, well at least what they were when the car left the factory but with 160k miles they are bound to be a little soft

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit

The eibach is 26mm the front and 22mm the rear ......it doesn't say how much harder it is from the original one.

unfortunatly that site is banned from here, you cant input the name, if you do, its replaced with stars (www . alfa 155 . org) remove the spaces and go to for sale section and its a sticky thread at the top

Re: Eibach Anti Roll Kit
