Might be an 'accident.' I don't remember this car having two sway bars.

I can't imagine why the smart would need one. I take some pretty tight corners in mine and it hardly leans at all. A LOT less than my Vibe did and it had sway bars.

There is a dealer locator on the Eibach website.

One needs to be careful when altering suspension, and it should only be done with some particular result in mind, not just as a whizz-bang. An overly tight suspension significantly reduces roadholding in wet weather.

With such a short wheelbase and high center of gravity, I would be careful about making changes. There was a reason for having skinny tires in front and wide ones in the rear, the same with the factory choice of sway-bar diameter. Remember what happened with the MB A-series and the moose!

Ok I've contact a custom suspension company. Wanting to know if there are people who would be willing to put in for an order. Vendors are welcome too. If we get enough to produce then they can be offered at cost. Estimated cost 200-400 each kit
