Is it possible to run the Eibach rear sway bar on a c2s it’s an LN Engineering IMS solution kit?
the eibach bar is that exact same shape as your existing sway bar.. just a bit thicker. If you are seeing that the IMS solution kit oil line is too close for comfort on your existing bar then it may be a problem, but if it's not close, then I don't see a reason why it would not fit/work with the IMS kit.
It isn't a coincidence, it's called a car community and Ryan has been a positive member of the So. Cal car community for the 20+ years I have. We all have a bit of car ADD here in CA but I see nothing wrong with Ryan selling his car and at the same time using it for developing/marketing Eibach swaybars with the new owner if that is the situation. I would give up my C2S in a second for a GT3 in any case, so the sale of his C2S to someone in the community makes sense when he traded up to a GT3. In addition, Eibach has been a positive presence in So. Cal for many years from having meets to supporting races at the local tracks. If Eibach starts making their high quality parts for Porsches beyond the pro kit springs, it is a win win situation for us, so I don't get what your beef is.

It was indeed a coincidence. I have no beef with Ryan...he explained the coincidence some time ago. What I have a beef is your inappropriate commentary. Go pound salt.

BTW, The unedited version of your message...the one that included the needless antagonistic language before it was edited out...is what showed up in my inbox. Another reason to think before you hit send.

the one about you having cabin fever? I stand corrected on my correction.
Gee, the car in the OP's message (his first ever) plugging Eibach products sure looks a lot like your car after the installation of an aero kit that you mentioned you were going to be doing in the thread I referenced earlier. Right down to the wheels and after market lights. Surely that is mere coincidence.
I've known Ryan and the guys at Eibach for 10 years, I bought his 997 last July. I also live 15 minutes away from Eibach, you think I am NOT going to give them a car when they need it for R&D? I am a huge car guy and huge proponent to the aftermarket industry (owning my own company in it as well) so I will always share new products to the community and help develop aftermarket platforms for us all to benefit from.
I am also working with aFe Power on a new intake system for the 997 S, so you will expect to see my feedback there as well.
Not entirely sure how this thread morphed into this or why you think they would feel the need to make fake accounts to push product when the truth is, their product doesn't need pushing and their work speaks for itself. I was super excited to share feedback after taking it to the track right after the sway bar installation.
I had the Eibach Pro-kit springs on my car for a couple years now with PASM. I really enjoy them for all the reasons you mentioned, but like you, I did still notice some rear end wiggle at the track. I also go to Buttonwillow too! About 6 months ago I purchased the 3 way adjustable 25mm rear sway bar by Eibach and it made a really nice difference for me. The rear end feels way more planted and flat through the corners and s-turns. Stiffening up the rear sway bar will give you more oversteer character. 911s tend to push more when stock, so adding the stiffer rear sway bar helps with turn in and less understeer.
I have a C4S so stock rear sway bar is closer to 19-20mm and the 25mm Eibach bar thickness is the same recommended for GT3 or GT2 stock. Was a very nice price point considering it is almost identical to the GT2 oem part which was $200 more. With this bar I had to use GT2 Bushings which look to be drilled out bushings in order to work with the 25mm bar thickness. The Bushings were $50 at a discount considering regular oem bushings are half that price. I also purchased new oem droplinks just to keep things fresh back there.
REAR ANTI-ROLL Kit (Rear Sway Bar Only) 7217.312 Rear Sway Bar is Tubular and 3 Way-Adjustable. 25mm
GT2 rear sway bar bushings required in order to fit fatter rear 25mm sway bar. Part # 997-333-792-95
Pretty cool to see you had a similar experience. It's a night and day difference from factory sway bar to these in the handling department.
