Will swaybars from a 540I fit a 93 525ia? And will they benefit the 525ia



Sorry previous post had springs and I meant swaybar...rofl oops

Stiffer ride due to different spring rate.

And your nose will be up in the air, rather snobby!

The 4.0 is a heavier motor, so the springs will not be matched well to the 525. Not a good idea.

Unless you are going for that Porsche Cayenne style...

[mikes]

it should not effect ride height(rh), in fact i swapped all springs and sway bars from a 540 sport onto my 535 and did the [1] rears first, raised it slightly,[2] sway bar front next, no change except better cornering feel, [3]rear sway bar next, a little better feel no chane in rh, then lastly [4]the front springs which lowered rh (about 3/8")and stiffened it up a bit.

I edited it:) I told 632 Regal I my mind has been detached of late.. :(

632 Regal is already supplying my springs... I'm having to redo the whole suspension due to the miles..159k. I believe that the shocks have never been replaced. You should feel the baby dance on uneven pavement. I brought the car with 77k on the dial.. :p

Anyone got the answer to the swaybars? How does the stock 540I sways differ from that of the 525Ia.

He edited it on us... check the bottom of his first post

[Tiger]

540i swaybar is thicker... meaning better sway control... and don't edit on us again! Hehehe... make me look like a fool!

different, (different spring rate)

The 540iA bar weighs 4.5kg; the 540iM bar weighs 4.45kg.

Also, different weights and pns for the 25mm sway bars on the Touring and the M5.
