Im looking to upgrade my oem sway bars(front & rear) to the eibach kit, but from what i gather the eibach rear sway bar is 24mm in diameter .
but isnt the Oem rear sway bar the same size ?

anyways is you have this set up please give me some feed back or if the eibach and oem rear sway bar are the same size please let me know as i dont want to waste my money on something i dont need.

thanks .

Diameter isn't always the only performance aspect of a sway bar. Some bars are tubular and some are stiffer than others even if the diameter is the same.

Bigger is not always better either.

Yes you should run one. You typically want matched front and rear bars. Too stiff of a rear bar can cause oversteer.

Why not consider getting a complete matched kit like the one in my sig?

the stock rear sway bar's also have a tendency to break since they are not too thick and any aftermarket bar even same diameter will be stiffer...
