To add Sway Bars or Not?

[EngPhys09]

Ok, I'm getting a Sach/Eibach suspension kit into this week from BMA. I plan in mid December to do the swap. I was wondering if at the same time its worth swaping the sway bars and end links out for some Racing Dyanmic (or other) stiffer sway bar.

I have a Stock 525im m20.
I was reading on bmw4life web page and it suggests removing the sway bar endlinks, so I was wondering if I should just swap everything while i'm under there?

Opinions?

I'm always thinking "since I'm already there" Yes you should consider replacing what is worn. A car that is 17+ years old, yea go ahead a replace the sway bars and end links out. If you do a search you will find all the information you could ever want on suspension upgrades, also don't forget to check the E34 web site, http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main.htm Check both under upgrades and maintenance.

Well i got the SSK, Suspension is here, Rims come after winter.

Maybe i should look into some bars, are racing dynamics the best? Or are there better?

decide what size bar you want and get the cheapest one ... it's just a chunk of metal ... sure, it may be a pretty green color or whatever, but nobody is going to see it anyway.

and honestly unless you like crawling under your car and playing with dirty grease you're not going to be adjusting the adjustable ones very often


i set mine and liked it then when i changed wheel/tire sizes from 17 > 16 i changed again....

so two adjustments in 2 years heheh
