i had my eye on the eibach sway
Just curious what you guys are paying for sways and where you getting from.

i have been looking for the eibach set and the cheapest i have found is from summitracing.com... now reading through the rest of this thread, i am starting to look into the other brands as well now.

Anyone running one of these aftermarket bars and running the DJM endlinks have any issues with the passenger side strut contacting the bar?

The DJM will be fine for the rear. I'm running their swaybars front and back and their rear endlinks. They should work good with the Hellwig but you'll need to buy Energy Suspension endlinks for the front, they sell all lengths. You can look in their online PDF catalog, under universal applications. There's instructions on how to measure and get the part numbers. I installed my stockers , then measured and ordered new ones and replaced them when they were delivered.

I have Tonys Handling Package. 3-4/5-6 drop with DJM front and rear swaybars and the Spohn adjustable 4 link and panhard bar. This big girl can handle some turns now.... Night and Day difference.

Unless they're specified for a 2" front drop, then no. Your swaybar won't be parallel with the ground which is necessary for it to work right. You can install them and check to see but I'm sure they're stock length for a non lowered rig.

You can get the shorter energy suspension links at AutoZone. It's a shelve item like $15. I don't remember which I brought but there will be two to choose from one being just slightly larger than the other. I want to say both will work fine.

How's that work when it depends on how much drop you have as to what length you need? A 2" drop will be quite a bit different than a 4" drop. Energy Suspension sells end links from 1" to 4 1/2". IIRC the ones I needed were about 1 1/4" shorter than my stock ones, in order to get my swaybar parallel with the ground.
