Eibach, nice and thick and I believe has multiple settings so you can adjust it. Though it may be harder to find.

You could swap in a TII and not have to worry about the sway bar though.

This may shock you, but S5 isn't the only series for FC's

He's not being a dick, just calling you out for stating that n/a's and turbo's had the same front sway bar. They do not. BTW chill, its just the internet



Compare the n/a and the turbo front sway bars. I have both at home, and there is a huge difference. BTW the verts have the turbo sway bar.

FYI s5 sway bars are not as strong as the s4's, as s5 sway bars have plastic end links.

I thought s5 vert sway bars were thicker than even the turbo's?

The vert has different springs then any coupe (TII or N/A), but as far as I am aware the sway bars were the same as the TII.
