E46 323/325/328/330i 2-way adjustable 27mm front sway bar with urethane bushings.

Sway bars are typically sold as a front and rear set to balance the handling. But a front sway bar only can also have excellent benefits, especially on a street car. Going with a larger front bar will improve steering and handling even at low-moderate speeds. Steering turn-in is faster and gives the car a more direct and responsive feel. Cars with staggered wheel fitments (a narrower front wheel compared to the rear) will especially benefit from this and help the front tire 'bite' into the road. 

ECS has specified an adjustable 27mm sway bar that has been fine-tuned for use on the E46 non-M models. Urethane bushings with a reinforced inner core that requires no lubrication are included. 

Fits RWD models only (not 325xi/330xi).

This item fits the following BMWs: 
1999-2005 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 328i 328ci 330i 330ci

Hotchkis Sport Suspension products have been developed with strength, reliability, fitment, appearance, and durability all factored into their products to ensure that customers are never left unsatisfied. Suspension components are exposed to not only the elements, but also constant ever changing forces that will push the limits of any performance component to its breaking point if not built to a superior quality. This is especially true in vehicles with lowered suspension. Make sure your suspension is ready for any abuse thrown its way with Hotchkis Performance Sway Bars.

Performance sway bars allow you to take corners aggressively while still keeping the wheels firmly planted and reducing body roll, all without reducing overall ride quality. Hotchkis sway bars feature powder coated tubular steel construction for maximum durability and stiffness. Every kit includes the essential components needed for an easy installation and to ensure you get the most from your sway bars.

Features:

  • Eliminate Unwanted Body Roll
  • Dramatically Improves Handling And Stability
  • Easy Installation

    One of the most important connections in this system is the sway bar bushings. If they are soft or worn, some of that energy going to the other side is lost from too much sway bar flex or bushing give. To keep everything tight and responsive, it's best to replace your bushings.
