    Default what kind of SWAY BARS are offered

    for the E34. I have a 1995 540ia with M60 nikasil and want to add larger stonger sway bars but don't want to pay a fortune for DINAN. Does anyone know the dimensions of the front and rear bars and or any good aftermarket companys.

    Look into either M-tech bars (BMW m series) or Racing Dynamics bars from Electrodyne. These are the most common alternatives to Dinan bars.

    I have the RD bars and like them. Of course, I also have a lot of other stuff done to the suspension as well.

    Default I love it...I think it's pretty much perfect.

    Dinan Springs and matched revalved Bilstein shocks ("Stage one")
    RD Sways
    Ireland Engineering camber plates (schweeet!)
    3mm front spring pads
    750 thrust arm bushings
    New subframe bushings
    16" rims

    As you can see by the pic, the car is very nicely buttened up a speed. Ride is firm but not a buckboard. Car is hunkered but not slammed. I've riden in others but still prefer this.
