What is the Eibach part# for the 1.6 front sway bar? I found 5517.310 but wasn't sure it was the correct one.

Since it became legal we have run the 24mm bar in the front on our 1.8. Always had a push problem until this. Run soft/soft and make minor adjustments with rake,wedge and tire pressures. Eaststreet end links work great! But do be careful(as you would with any link)to mount them in a configuration that is as straight up and down as possible. I bent one putting it on the wrong side of the bar and getting off track in a pot hole! Making them to long is also a no no for several reasons...if I remember I think I matched the length of the stock end link as a start?

Ok, some follow up.  Turns out the spacers from bilstein fit my bolts well.  I used 3 on one side and a stack of washers on the other side.  The end of the bolt gets just barely bumped at full lock, and there isn't much in the way of threads left.
