    Stock sways, poly bushings

    So I was thinking of just getting some polly bushings and keeping my stock sway bars. Would this be a noticeable difference or am I stuck getting a bigger bar?

    Thanks.

    Anything is better than 20 year old worn bushings

      I see bmp sells polly but what size are the stock sways? I was thinking about the same thing. I have an '89 325i...

          bushes

          Itll make a diff.....especially over old ones ( as said)...they may squeak as well a bit.


          but what is your goal?.....get new oe stuff if not a track rat.......mine is a track rat.....and I used rubber.

            Urethane sway bar bushings aren't going to do much over OE bushings in good condition. If the goal is the reduce body roll you need stiffer springs, sways, or both.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              These should work. Stock front bar is 19mm right? Or is it 20? I forget..

              The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.

                Is that even for BMW's? Just because the ID of the bushing is right does not mean it's universal...

                  The Energy bushings DO NOT FIT the E30 mounts.

                  I welded a plate under the stock mount location to make the energy mount work, but have not yet installed that subframe.
