Santa's sleigh, no more sway, thanks to the team @ Eurocode

[Wah]

Good stuff.

[simplicity]

any chance you guys can post the install guide like the alu kreuz page? i'm curious about the adjustability of the endlinks and also if there'd be any noise with the swap.

[Info@EuroCode]

Install guide is not finalized (editing photos). Once we have it completed it will be posted. The end links do not make any noise.

[!38 T]

please make the front/rear sways available separately.

They will be.

i checked on the site and they are only available as a set.. so no individual front/rears?

edit. thanks jason! will do.

Just email them, they were very responsive and I got pricing for the rear only. But since it was given outside the forum, I don't feel it's fair to post.

[MilesM]

Yeah, if you have any questions don't hesitate to give these guys a call. They're actually pretty knowledgable about the stuff and help cater to individual requests.

[Auditude2.0T]

It's mods like these that make me want to go suspension mod crazy, cut weight and get into road racing..

Bump in anticipation for more news on this.
Specifically the end links

[Audacious]

Received mine in the mail today, everything is expertly engineered and manufactured. So far, this is another "must buy" from Eurocode. Will have further reviews after the install, until then, a couple pics:

Do the end links come as part of the Sway Bar kit or did you have to buy them separately?

[jordancl]

just as a heads up the endlinks say they're 1 of 5 parts for suspension overhaul (I assume front endlink, rear EL, front sway, rear sway, alu kreuz), but the sway set says "1 of 4".

Anyway is there going to be a GB or a sway+endlink package? Need to know when to order :P

[Info@EuroCode]

Yes, the end links are available separately and will work with the OEM or any bar that was designed to use factory end links. You can find the end links here http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart..._detail&p=2048 and http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart..._detail&p=2049

We are doing a special for customers who wish to purchase the entire package at once. Give us call at 310-294-8108

I thought i'd throw out a review on this package as I've had it installed for a few weeks now on my '11 Avant and it is are awesome.



I did the entire "Überlegenes Stabilisatoren System" which is the front/rear sway bars, end links, and the almighty Alu Kreuz. I did it stages to see the difference the entire package made. Now I'm by no means a test pilot driver, in that a cup holder in my german car is a big deal . That said, I've owned a BMW wagon (530xi) and a Subaru STi (2009) in the past few years so I can feel performance and handling in the performance gauntlet that is getting groceries and droping kids off at schools.

I can say without a doubt I am amazed at how great Eurocode is to work with. Greg and David bend over backwards to help and available for any questions that may arise. For that reason alone, doing business with Eurocode is worthwhile. Greg answered an email for me on Christmas day of all times.

I installed the Alu Kreuz first and drove with that for a week or so. This mod in itself transforms the vehicle (as many have described), really quite a noticeable change in the response of the car. If I was to use a word, I'd say "snappier".

I secondly installed the front sway bar and adjustable end links on my own (really easy DIY btw), had a shop install the rear sway and end links and drove the car for the last 2-3 weeks. The car is noticeably stiffer on turns, the body roll is virtually non-existent. You can feel the suspension settle (or could be the winter rubber) into the turn but the car then has a rigid/railed feeling. I would dare to say it handles as good as the BMW (not as heavy though), and a lot better than the Subaru STi did. The STi was skippy through the turns, like it wanted to drift, the Audi is more like the BMW in that it settles into a turn and digs into it. A much preferred feeling for me.






All in all, this mod is a GREAT addition for this car and is highly recommended. The quality and fit/finish of the products are really, really good as well. AFAIK the end-links do work with any factory or aftermarket sway bar, the Alu Kreuz is a bolt on improvement on the stock body stabilizer, these additions are a no brainer. Get off your wallet and unlock the pure grocery getting handling efficiency that only the long wait at the school zone crosswalk can bring you. (Your milage may vary).

Great review! Any tips on doing a DIY on the front links and bar? Is it doable on ramps or did you need jack stands?

Great review! Any tips on doing a DIY on the front links and bar? Is it doable on ramps or did you need jack stands?

front links and bars are simple and can be done easily on ramps, the suspension needs to be loaded thus ramps are the best option. The bolt sizes are uncommon in your standard variety socket set though, 16mm being one of them. A crowfoot wrench end is very helpful and a 3/8" torque wrench. The upper link bolts are a bit of a pita to tighten (tight space) but everything else is very simple. Just make sure to ask eurocode for the instructions as they have torque settings for all the bolts listed and sizes required before you start. I'm not sure I feel a big difference with the links but they're definitely a lot sturdier than the stock ones.

Nicely done thanks!

Any updates on your experience with the EC Sways on? Long term improvements or issues? Anything you had to replace or tighten up again?

Several thousand miles on mine and so far still great! They contribute so much to the balance of the car in the turns. As I have posted before, they also improve the ride with the lowering springs.

Good to know. I'm thinking about going this way for extra stability on the track and road later in the year. All the reviews are super positive and EC seems to make nothing but incredibly well engineered parts.

Agreed, good they still feeling good. Upgrading to hotchkis in the front, and will probably pick this one up for the rear.
