Eibach Sway Bars Installed!

Greetings! So I finally got around to installing my front & rear sway bars!

Installation was pretty straight forward... For the front you have to lower the subframe (tried without but no go) Re & Re the sway links. I also went and got new nuts as I wasn't sure if they are lock nuts. Greased the new bushings, tightened and torqued to spec. Rear was a breeze, 10 min! Remove nuts, slide out towards the side, Re new bar same way, bushings and torque to spec.

Outcome... WWWOWWW !!! As I pulled out of the garage you can feel the steering, it was so effortless! So nimble! Highway changing lanes, a breeze! You can change lanes with your pinky lol I cant explain it. I love driving it! I wanted to do this first only to see the diff. over stock, otherwise with the springs it would have been harder to point out the performance.

I would recommend this to anyone even if you plan to keep your X5 in stock form. It eliminates ssooo much of the stock roll, I would think of this as another safety feature rather then performance! You know what I mean. Well there you have it! Very simple & as always... The X now puts a bigger smile on my face On to the springs, strut bar and camber plates!

Bottom line: Another satisfied customer!!!
Cheers!
