Default Anyone running KW V3 with Eibach Sway Bars? Clearance Question

Hey guys,

Was wondering if any of you guys are running KW V3 with eibach sway bars? My buddy said that he has the eibach on and when he installed the KW V3s he had to bend the piece of metal that holds the front brake lines to make the eibach fit. I just want to confirm whether this is necessary or not.

Those of you who have this combination can you shed some light on the front clearance of the eibach sways to the shocks?

this was my thoughts exactly, not to doubt your buddy but when he installed the sway bar did he preload the suspension before he fastened the bar with the arms?

I'm not sure, I know he had the bars before he got the KW V3s. I'm gonna look at his car later today. I'm picking up Eibach sways so I just wanted to make sure before hand. Thanks everyone for the replies! Much appreciated!

Your buddy might have installed the bar upside down. Pretty easy mistake to make. Ask me how I know.

LOL I just texted him this. We did my install today and no clearance issues on neither back or front - everything fits perfectly

Thank you everyone for confirming - you guys are so on top of it! This is why I love s2ki!
