I have and I love it. Very easy to install also just make sure you have a drill handy.

I like it, but I wasn't keen on the drilling aspect and how close it is to the ebrake cable. It has also started to make weird squeaking noises that I can only solve with some wd40 every now and then.

The eibach kit has a larger front sway bar than the rear bar. It won't solve the understeer issue with our cars. You are better off to get a rear sway bar and use a factory front bar- in my opinion.

I have the addco rear bar 1". It's not a simple bolt-on. you have to drill 2 holes behind where the rear struts mount to the trailing arm.

A few minutes with a good drill and a DRILL BIT (MADE FOR DRILLING METAL) and your good to go.

I had to widen the holes for the mounting plates a little bit (few more minutes of drilling) because when they stamped them out there was some extra material that hung on.

If I hadn't spent so much time looking for the bolts that somehow jumped out of my parts tray it would have been a 30minute job.

The bar doesn't make any noise at all on my setup, and I love it!

I just installed the eibach kit last weekend. There was no problem with the rear install. The front was somewhat tedious, but not bad. I do have some qualms with the front bar itself though. The drivers side endlink mount is not perpendicular with the endlink; I'm thinking of heating it with a torch and bending it, but am not sure if that is a good idea on a sway bar. On the passengers side there is a major clearance problem with the vertical support for the cradle; probly gonna grind on the cradle and reinforce if necessary. Otherwise with Eibach Pros, Tokico D-Spec's (2-turns out on all four), stock Eagle Gs-c's, both strut tower braces, and poly control arm bushings, it handles good enough for the street. On the highway as long as its not a cloverleaf I can set the cruise as fast as I want (under 107 still) with no worries.

The only reason the bar will ever squeak is because of the poly d-bushings that hold the sway bar to the torsion bar. I just take mine out occasionally and grease them.
