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.
The sway bar in your vehicle links both lower control arms. During cornering, the inner wheel tends to roll under, but the sway bar acts as a spring to prevent this. A critical part of this system is the sway bar bushings. If they become soft or worn, energy transfer is compromised due to excessive sway bar flex or bushing movement. To maintain tight and responsive handling, it’s essential to replace the bushings.
