I have not yet welded on mount reinforcements (I use the mildest bar adjustments and may just see how the stock mounts hold up.). Installation took about 1.5 hours for both front and rear.
Incredible handling improvement due to less body lean (tires stay closer to 90 degrees to road surface).

If I had $$ to burn I would buy a new 540i, but I recently bought an 85 535i because it is the most bang for the buck.
If as you guys say, sway bars are the best way to improve handling, how much can I expect to pay for the parts and installation? Would I need sway bars for both front and back? Welding on new brackets sounds like alot of work and expense.
My e28 is stock, and I don't want to spend thousands improving what is a pretty good car as is. So I haven't gotten new rims and tires b/c as crappy as the TRXs are, mine are brand new and I can't justify spending $2,000 or more for something better. If sway bars produce the kind of cornering improvement I want, that may be the way to go.
I sure wish the e28 handled more like my e30!!!! Maybe its just physics; even with new wheels, springs and sway bars, this car can never match the smaller and lighter e30???
