The COBB Anti-Sway Bar Kit is one of the most effective ways to improve handling without negatively affecting ride quality or NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). The perfectly balanced kit has a 25mm front bar and a 21mm rear bar to resist body-roll, sharpen turn-in response, and reduce understeer. The CNC bent anti-swaybar kit includes stiffer polyurethane bushings for instant suspension response, and all are direct factory replacements to ensure perfect OEM-like fitment without compromising performance. The COBB Tuning Anti-Sway Bar Kit is compatible with stock and most aftermarket endlinks.


  • 25mm Non-Adjustable Hollow Front Bar
  • 21mm Non-Adjustable Solid Rear Bar
  • Diamond Black Powdercoat
  • Improved Handling, Balance, and Control
  • Reduced Body Roll

http://www.cobbtuning.com/Ford-Fiesta-ST-Sport-Springs-p/901760.htm

The COBB 2014+ Fiesta ST Sport Spring Kit is the best first step to a better handling and better looking car. The 0.8" drop front and 0.7" drop rear lowers the car's center of gravity to improve cornering speed and response while also minimizing wheel gap for a sportier look. This aggressive stance reduces squat and wheel hop under hard acceleration. Progressive spring rates provide the sport feel without being unnecessarily harsh or bouncy. Road course tested and real world approved, the COBB Tuning Sport Spring Kit is the best direct replacement spring available for your 2014+ Fiesta ST.

  • 0.8" Drop Front and 0.7" Drop Rear
  • High Performance Handling and Aggressive Good Looks
  • Lower Center of Gravity
  • Progressive Spring Design for Excellent Ride Quality

Both the sway bars and springs have the exact same specs and visual look as Eibach. Perhaps they are Eibach. Of course, nothing wrong with that. :)

Definitely getting the sway bars since I won't be lowering the car.

And I'll wait for somebody to order the hangers and see how well they work.

And still waiting for intake news...

If the sway bars are exactly the same as Eibach, except black instead of red, why not buy from TireRack? If I remember correctly, they are $285 shipped, give or take a few bucks.

EDIT: $276 shipped on TireRack

The springs and sways are from Eibach.
This is a good setup for the street.
I have tested the prototypes.

yeah I was told during my last visit over to Cobb SoCal a few weeks ago they would be introducing springs and a sway kit very soon for the FiST which were basically made for Cobb through Eibach....Need to confirm this but was under the impression there were some slight modifications made to Cobb's front sways in order to provide some additional clearance for Cobb's IC hardpipe kit...

I'm interested in finding out if there are in fact ANY differences between the "Cobb" springs and the Eibach set (35143.140). I asked the following on their questionnaire system, "Is this a re-branded Eibach Pro-Kit (Part #35143.140)?" and the question wasn't answered. However, when "Hello! I was wondering if these springs were manufactured by Eibach?" was asked, they responded. I'm starting to get the feeling Cobb doesn't want to admit that they're the same springs, but who knows.

Most companies do not want to tell you who their vendors are.
I also know that Eibach will not tell you who they are making products for.
However I have been to Eibach many times and I have seen boxes with other than Eibach names on them.
I am going there again tomorrow.

Sure seems that way. I guess you cant blame them for not wanting to admit that directly. They're trying to build their brand and charge close to 10% more for the same part lol
It happens a good amount in the industry.
