You're correct about that- I'm running 0 front toe and 1/16" total rear toe in, -3.5*F/-3*R camber, and rear rebound stiffer than front, all of which contribute to a generally oversteery setup. The easiest and most consistent way to change between oversteery balance (desireable for autox) and neutral/slightly understeery (better for road courses, especially with my fairly novice skill set) is to swap the rear bar.

My point was that the Eibachs allow a great range of adjustability in setup, even for a staggered car; something that a large Whiteline or Saner FSB may not grant you.

for a non staggeed setup perhaps beefier sway bar (Sanner) is better...
Thanks. Although, I'm not familiar with reading those figures. How much stiffer is the eibach bar in comparison to the my00 bar.

Have you tried running with the rear sway bar disconnected? That might be enough to get the car to behave the way you want.

^ I thought about that. Would you guys recommend Eibach front, rear disconnected for an AP1 with the following:

255 all around, 17x9 wheels.
Bilstien PSS9

I was also thinking of softening up the dampening on the rear of the Bilstein as well as more camber in the rear (2.5r, 1-1.5front).

Choosing an anti-roll bar setup needs to be properly selected based on spring rates and tire sizes. Any other modifications to your suspension system?

What about your current setup do you dislike? What characteristic is pushing you towards anti-roll bar changes?
