    Sway Bar Options for BMW E30

    It seems we have wheel fitment threads and full spring rate/options etc but I cannot seem to locate that for sway bars...

    Sow what is out there? What is everyone using and how well is it working for you? Seems the E30 takes well to really big bag set to really stiff up front and only going slightly oversized in the rear. This holding true for most?

    Thanks!

    *edit*

    If I somehow didn't use the right search terms and missed the thread link me and delete thread if need be :)

    I run the IE 22/25 kit on my 90. I can tell you that it truly does an amazing job..
    I cant speak for any other setups.

      A lot of people have been running the ST kit, which is also 22/19. It is also cheaper, IIRC, for functionally the same bars.

        Can ST still be bought new?

                I recommend the smaller IE kit, have driven a couple cars with it and that's what i will be buying for my car.

                  It all depends on what springs you are running and the rest of the setup of your car. Personally I am running the 22mm ST front bar and no rear bar.
