    Help, need sways for a vert.

    With a vert front at 21mm, a 22mm isn't much better. IE's 25/22 is out of stock, so any other suggestions or tips, looking for the best sway setup.

    There is more to sway bars than just diameter. For instance the end link attaching point can make a difference as well as if the bar is hollow or solid. I have the IE 22/19 set on my vert and it seems plenty for my street driving.

      Is the preload rumors associated with the M3 end links real or just someone over analyzing? I mean yes M designed it, but for a different car with different weights and weight distributions.

        The fact that the links connect to the strut housings vs. down to the control arms does make a huge difference.

            Sways and spring rates need to be matched. The set on a vert is plenty stiff enough for spring rates in the H&R Race spring range. If the car has too much body roll, the spring rates need to increase.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
