    Best Sway Bars Available?

    I'm looking to purchase the best suitable sway bars for my current DD. I'm pretty confused on options.. I am currently running Bilstein Touring shocks, with H&R Super Sport springs. I do NOT autocross the car just looking to put together a fun daily driver! Any opinions out there on what to run? I'm leaning towards just H&R front and rear sways, but would love to hear some feedback before making a purchase.

    Model: 1990 BMW 325is

    Thanks!

    Unless you are itching to spend money, I would consider mimicking the m3 setup, by welding on tabs to the front strut body's and using m3 sway bar links, and an m3 or ix 14.5mm bar in the rear. It makes a noticeable improvement over stock, and provides a good balance for a DD.

        Yeah the vert front bar would be good with what Andy suggested and if you want to get crazy you could probably find poly bushings as well but fresh rubber ones would be fine.

        Of course you want to determine what change in handling YOU are looking for, then pick a sway bar setup based on that...

          And bear in mind that it is a very good idea to upgrade the pivot mounts and endlink tabs. Some kits will include these, other generic kits will not (HR, ST, etc.).

          I've seen more ripped and damaged suspensions than I care to think about, even on stock sways driven in the canyons.

            Thanks for the swift responses! I will look into upgrading mounts, and end link tabs. However I'm not really looking into piecing a M3 setup together. I'd rather just purchase a complete kit. What's your opinions on the H&R sway bars?
