gonna put these on my 11/85 build 325es and wanted to know what to expect. if anyone else has put these on there car, how much of a difference? are they trackable, or mostly for street. pics bla bla come flame whatever. i searched among many.
Make sure you have the mounts on the trailing arms reinforced or the swaybar will tear them off.

Yep that happened to me last auto-x. Had to source a new trailing arm and welded on the reinforcements this time. If you upsize the rear bar, definitely get the reinforcements.
That is okay, but not a lot stronger than the OE tab. To do it right a part of the reinforcement needs to bend up and be welded to the trailing arm. Tuner sells a reinforcement like that which triangulates the loads. I've bent the simple reinforcement, like above, on my Spec E30 (22/19mm IE sways).
The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
