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 non-Sport E82 128i did not come with a rear sway bar. If you're adding the Sport package bar or another aftermarket type you will need this additional package of mounting parts and rear swaybar links to complete the install. This package includes:
rear sway bar bushing brackets, 33556780707
bracket mounting screws, 07119907125
rear sway bar links, 33556764428
lower link mounting bolts, 07119903931
upper link mounting nuts, 33326768884
This kit also makes a nice package as part of a rear suspension overhaul.

The ball-joint inside the link will eventually wear out. The problem gets worse if the rubber boot surrounding the joint is ripped. When the joint goes bad you can hear it clunk when going over bumps. Replacement of the link will help with the handling and feel of the car.
