Alternative to Eibach rear sway bar?

[Daryl]

Visually, it seems to sag down near the wheels, leaving very little ground clearance. Is there (or are there) alternatives that don’t have that “sag”, or are they all pretty much like that?

Thanks!

Picture? I bought the Ford Motorsport kit that had shocks, springs and swaybars and it sits pretty tight. I'll try and snap a picture later on.

Only 3” to terra firma!

I'll have to see if I have (or can take) a picture, Daryl. I don't think mine hangs down like that.

This is the Ford Motorsport one, not sure on distance to the ground.

Seems like they could easily take 1.5 - 2” out of that “sag” design.

Are those Maximum motorsports lower control arms?

Hmmm, yours had a bit of sag. Not as much as mine, but still some. How much ground clearance?

4" pretty much on the nose. Rubber is 275/40-17
I wonder can you drill new mounting holes on the LCA tabs?

I’ll have to check if there’s room, but that’s an option. My rears are 315/35x17

Yes, MM Adjustable LCA’s

The cheaper aftermarket LCAs have bolt holes for the sway bars that make them lower than stock. The stock arms mount the sway bar right in the middle, the aftermarket ones mount them on a tab a few inches lower. I know, I have the same problem with my Hellwig bar on my tubular control arms.

Alright, so after I replace the speedometer gear ( so hopefully my speedometer, odometer and cruise control start working again!), I’ll see about hoisting the ass end of the car up and checking for solutions regather sway bar. Will also attempt a video of a cold start up soI can post and get feedback.

Daryl, almost looks upside down. weird. Maybe not and its just the angle.

the Eibach stamp is oriented in the way its readable and not upside down, so I’m hoping I didn’t install it upside down!

Daryl, sorry for the late reply. Here's a pic of mine during installation. I'll try to remember to take another shot of it on the car and on the ground tomorrow.

By the way, those are MM non-adjustable lowers.

 

[Daryl]

Thanks, Trick! Anxious to see the pix once it’s on the ground. What year is yours?

I have the Eibach bar/MM control arms and although it sits low I have never had an issue with it hitting anything. My K member brace however is another story...

 

[Daryl]

DkBlue,
I’m the opposite! Up front,K-member’s no issue. Out back... I’ve had a couple of light scrapes: one steep driveway and a rock in the road. Looked small enough to go over, but surprised me it wasn’t. But that’s it. So far!

 

[ttocs]

it looks normal to me
