Eibach is notorious for stating "2 weeks", and in 2 weeks, they will state "2 weeks" again. This went on for 3 years before they even came out with the first set...

I would not put to much faith in thier statement.

I don't know. I've had the Eibach bar on for almost 2 years now and I haven't had ANY problems with it. Ever since the first report of breakage I've checked it periodically for any signs of cracking or warping and it is fine. I just looked it over last night. I'll replace it IF and WHEN it fails and NOT before. I've more that gotten my $138.00 I paid for it out of it and I certainly don't take it easy on it.
I upped my corner speeds when I got it because I like the way it planted the rear and since I have coupled it with my custom fabricated front strut brace the car is planted even better so my corner speeds have increased even more because it is fun when you know you can and am confident the car will stick. Especially when some bonehead in a Buick is riding your ass and you come to a nice turn and you just leave the cruise control on and don't lift, look in your rear view and see him fade back as he comes around the corner trying to keep up and his car drifts into the other lane and almost into the dirt. Good times.

Yeah, I know. I've read your posts. However I have only heard about yours and a few others out of the thousands and thousands sold. Like I said, I'll replace it if and when it ever breaks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (no need to spend the extra money for me if I don't have to) Right now it's 100% intact and functioning like it's supposed to.
