: : I'm looking for anti-sway bars (front and rear) for my 1988 325i.

: I'm curious as to why you want to upgrade
: your swaybars? If you have the stock springs
: it's not a good idea because the rear mounting
: tabs are at risk of breaking (on the body and
: the trailing arms). If you want them to reduce
: body roll then they won't do much (i've tried).
: Stiffer springs do much more for body roll than
: swaybars on these cars and help prevent the
: mounting tabs from breaking by taking the
: load off the swaybars. I prefer to have stiff
: springs and modest swaybars (currently have
: stiff Ground Control racing springs with a 22mm
: adjustable Racing Dynamics front bar and a stock
: E30 M3 14.5mm rear bar and the car handles very
: very well (neutral w/oversteer on command)

: Unless you have stiffer aftermarket springs,
: i wouldn't increase swaybar size yet.

: 89 325is


I have Apex springs and Tokico struts and shocks. I want to upgrade the anti-sway bars then add strut tower braces!
