    What sway bars do you recommend? Leaning toward Eurocode while still on sale

    Looking for a set of sways for my Sline 2014 and leaning towards the Eurocode. Is there any others anyone would recommend in that price range?

    I've got the Hotchkis. They're beefier than the other options, ~$450 for the set. But you can't go wrong with a sale!

    I have 034 RSB 24mm with moog end links. Does a superb job of stabilizing the car on hard cornering.

    034 makes a rear sway designed to work with the OE front sway which comes with the sports package. Haven't tried it personally but it's supposed to eliminate understeer.

    The only real debate is whether to do both bars (like Eurocode) or to upgrade the rear bar only (like 034). Personally, I'm for the Eurocode setup.

    Upgrading both will eliminate more body roll and the car will have a higher threshold before losing traction (in comparison to doing just the rear). Installing the upgraded rear bar only will "feel" a little better at the limit as the car will trend more towards oversteer, but that limit will be lower and the car will have more body roll than if you'd upgraded both bars.

    Not only that, but how often are you pushing the car to the absolute limits? If your driving consists of mainly commuting with the occasional spirited drive through the back roads then the front is absolutely worth it too since you'll be feeling the initial turn-in response 99.9999% of the time and the under steer concern will rarely (if ever) be a factor.

    I know it's a hot debate between fronts or rears but I firmly believe in doing both.

    I have the Eurocode front and rear bars, with stock end-links. Highly recommended. Upgrade to the Moog endlinks if the stock endlinks degrade.

    Hollow versus solid bars really doesn't matter, it's the spring-rate of the bar that matters, but the vendors rarely publish that info. For the same spring rate, a hollow bar is lighter weight than a solid bar.

    For those who have sway bars and front and rear end links how are these set ups in snow areas, are they safe or do drivers switch back to stock suspensions for snow seasons?

    I have had no issues with winter/snow driving with EC bars, front and back, set to the stiffest settings.

    Installed the eurocode front and rear bars on our 13 allroad and they transformed the handing in a good way. Nice and balanced.

    I've got H&R front and rear on my Avant. Made a nice difference with the stock sport suspension. Really tightened things up. They are all pretty much the same though.
