    Default Sway Bar Options

    I want to upgrade the sway bars on my 1995 525i Touring. I did a little site search and didn't find much, but it sounds like M5 sway bars are a good option. 25mm front, and 20 mm rear from the M5 Touring. (Anyone know stock sizes?) Haven't priced them yet. (Best source? BMA?)

    Casn anyone make any better recommendations from a cost or performance standpoint? Looking for better roll control and faster weight transfer. May possibly be used along with slightly stiffer and lower springs. It's a daily driver, but I'm an autocrosser, so my tolerance is pretty high for stiff suspensions.

    The rear sway m5 is the biggest you can get. The front of this kit is the biggest available.

    I have these and love them. Makes the ride around corners alot nicer. Really levels out the car in corners over stock. Now, their is the eibach kit but i would go with the one above, bigger and greater sway reduction, plus you can adjust the Racing dynamic ones. Really helps to play with the adjustments for street/track driving.

    yes, yes and yes. you have everything covered. The whiteline 22mm is the largest rear swaybar for an/any e34. not the m5 touring item like healtoeit suggests.

    I stand corrected! Any idea if those are adjustable? And where can you find them?

    Thankx
