        is anyone just running the front sway bars without the rear. i was wondering how the car handles with just the fronts. BTW bmp does have the H&R sways. thanks for the website.

          ST 22/19 are nice and relatively inexpensive (~300). I am very happy with the way my car handles with these plus h&r race/ bilstein sports.

                I also have ST bars all around. The front is non-adjustable and the rear is set in the soft setting. My car is completely neutral on track, I love it. I don't see the reason for bigger sways, but I prefer to adjust my suspension with spring rates rather than swaybars.

                  I love my ST swaybars also... The car runs very flat through corners and is not too harsh for everyday driving either... they are great swaybars!

                      There are a couple guys and shops local that have them usually, Joseph out at Munich Motorwerks and a couple others.

                          Do the ST bars need reinforcements welded in the rear?

                          As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                          You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                            Any larger than stock bar, IMO, needs the reinforcement tabs.
                            This is an easy weld job, though, for any shop with a MIG and a lift. Won't take more than an hour at most. Don't fear it.

                              what exactly needs to be welded? i just got a welder for myself and am looking to add bigger sways, anything else on the car that could be welded for benefit, it doesnt really cost me anything

                                You can get the rear camber kit from IE (assuming you have lowered suspension)... those need welding :D
