    I agree with BMWCCA1, if you have the right set up you should not have any skipping at all. Sway bars are designed to flatten the car in cornering. Now if you doing 100mph through a thighed corner you are going to have under steer no matter what you drive.
    I'm trying to decide between the M5 Touring 25mm front 20mm back or the RD 27mm front 19mm back bars.

    I would like some firm data on why one setup to better to the other. I know the RD bars are adjustable which will be a head ache unless someone can come out and tell me put the fronts on 2 and rear on 1 for example.

    Thanks

    So would you say it was worth the $450 investment on them, or would a $220 investment in M5 touring bars be better?

    The 20mm swaybar and subframe inserts are being installed on mine as we speak. I'll report back with results!

    Neither. My car came with the RDs. I didn't have to pay for them.

    I don't see why the M5 bars wouldn't be a nice improvement. Pretty much a bar's a bar. If Suspension Techniques or Adco sold them, I'd consider those, too. I have what I have. I adjusted them to get them to work the way I thought they should work. But, I drive a modified 2002 and an E28 535is with Dynan Stage 3 suspension so I'm not ever going to get an E34 to handle the way I'd like it to. All-in-all, the stock E34 M5 is a nice driving car. So...
