I just picked up a '90 325 ix. Previous owner indicated that they had installed a Whiteline front sway bar, which I found improbable after reading other threads that seemed to indicate that no aftermarket sway bars work in the ix and Whiteline's own website which denies that it fits. However, upon inspection, there is indeed a 24mm Whiteline sway bar installed. Predictably, this caused one of the stock drop links to bend and detatch from its stud. However, after speaking to my mechanic and a representative from Whiteline, it may be possible to have it work with an upgrade to the Whiteline adjustable drop links (klc180-235). The new links should be in by early next week, I will update on how it goes. If it works I imagine this would be a relief to other IX owners who have been unable to upgrade their front sway bar.

Nice, can’t wait to know the answer. Been looking to upgrade the sway bar on mine. -
would like to see some pictures! and also e36 m3 front sway bars fit on the IX if you have adjustable end links and different sized bushings.Comment

Whiteline used to offer a 325ix swaybar several years ago before discontinuing it. Way back in the day Eibach also used to sell a kit which was discontinued as well. So while there are currently no options on the market, there certainly used to be and it is not improbable that they are installed on some ixs somewhere. Either way, it's quite cool that you have one!Comment

you can run the 325ix touring front swaybar if you can find it but I believe it is only +1 mm something like 19mm iirc

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.Comment

E36 M3 bars can also be made to work with custom end links - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...ing-325ix-only
I have an M3 bar sitting next to my iX, waiting for some mocking up.Comment

Correct, I have one as well. Never found the time to really fit it and make adjustable end links.Originally posted by kronus View Post
However, wouldn't it be better to get a thicker rear sway bar to remove the understeer that the iX has?Comment
