    I'm about to put H&R Sports on my new 318is, so it will lower about an inch. Do you think that is a significant enough drop to notice a large improvement?
    Thanks, Ely.

      Yes I'll ship overseas.

      Nando the m3 ones adjust from 9.58" to 11.13" My supplier has longer center turnbuckles but they are currently out of stock of the longer ones I use for slammed cars.
      sweet, mine are about 10" fully extended - looks like these will work. :)

        It all depends if you'll end up with any preload with stock links or not. Almost every e30 i've messed with has had some preload on the sway bar so getting rid of that is deffinetly useful as the car will then handle better in both directions, versus just one.

          I'll take a set of Non M3 front links.
          The stock links tear the rubber in no time, with my ST swaybar.
          Thanks

            Which ones are for the rear? Does it just have the spherical bearing at the top?

              the rears for a stock e30 are the same as the front links, they are a tad bit shorter then stock but that helps with a lowered car. Also they only work with aftermarket sway bars that have a hole where the links bolts threw, not slip on like the stock sway bars.

                    Interested for the M3 front and standard rear? what brand of links do you use?

                    Ive thought about building up a set myself. Looks like this would save me all the dirty work.

                    I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

                      The spherical bearings I use are from a UK company(MCP) but they have a distribution center here in the U.S. I've had very good luck with there rod ends, and have sold probably over 60 pairs of links to others

                        I've only put about 30 or 40 miles on them so far but they feel great! Turns out the rears Dave gave me are yours as well, they're awesome when mated to my ST bars with IE rear reinforcements.

                          I'm interested in this. I have stock sways on my 88 325 with IE3s and Konis - so I can imagine I have some major preloading going on.

                          I WAS going to buy new OEM sway bar links, but will this replace them? If I buy these, all I'd need to do is replace the rubber mounts that wrap around the bar that mount them to the body, correct?

                          Are there pics of these installed? I'm trying to figure out how that mount up?

                            Yep direct replacement for stock links. I'll find some old installed pics I have for you

                                Great, so the non-m3 ones mount to the front control arm? I'd like to get in on this! Set for front and rear with stock sways. If I get the moola to you before the 8th, I'll be good?
                                Thanks!
