The next step in tuning your car's handling - after shocks/springs and camber plates - should be a set of swaybars. Using larger front and rear sway bars will give your car better/quicker turn-in and less bodyroll in corners. These bars replace the existing sway bars on the car for a clean and simple upgrade with very little downside. Sway bars should be matched with your springs/shocks to maintain a proper handling balance. In some cases only a front or rear bar is needed to positively change the balance and make the car more neutral. We sell sway bar kits from H&R, Racing Dynamics, OE BMW upgrades, and even some of our own designs. Swaybars are sold with new bushings. New links and other hardware are strongly recommended.
Maintaining the delicate balance between chassis stiffness and historical authenticity is critical. The Powerflex Heritage Edition Rear Sway Bar Bushing is engineered specifically for race teams and enthusiast builders looking to optimize the roll stiffness of the classic BMW E28, and E24 platforms without compromising the aesthetic integrity of a period-correct build.

Factory-issued rubber sway bar bushings are engineered for commuter comfort, meaning they are prone to significant deflection under lateral loads. Over time, environmental exposure and hard cornering cycles cause these rubber units to soften, stretch, and perish, leading to unpredicted handling characteristics, delayed steering response, and vagueness at the limit.
