    Looking for E30 owners Reviews for Bimmerworld rear sway bar

    Bimmerworld has a rear sway bar that allows more trave of the trailing arm. I am wondering who has one and if they are getting more control that the regular rear sway bar?

    I find these cars like a smaller rear bar, something like a IE or AAF 16MM..

    I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

        I don't understand how a kink in the lever arm would gain more travel, sounds like marketing to me.

          I'll be updating/refreshing my rear suspension this Spring as I finish the front right now. I am also looking for a 16mm adjustable rear sway bar.

          Something I'm curious about is buying a kit that uses a 'standard' style/size/shape polyurethane bushing for future replacement servicing. The AAF one looks like it uses a captured 2 piece press in bushing unlike most.

          I'm leaning towards the UUC or Whiteline kit at the moment. In the front I changed to m3 style endlinks mounted direct onto the strut, which I read makes the bar act stiffer.

            I found 19mm way too large. I settled on the 16mm because it was the smallest aftermarket I could find. Would have probably run 14mm or 15mm if I could an adjustable one that worked with adjustable end links.

                Which one did you get? And if you've pushed the car hard in turns, is it pretty balanced or does it easily oversteer?

                  The rear sway bar is one piece of a much larger puzzle, so I don't think I can answer the second part of that for you.

                    Yes I know that for sure. I was just curious how your current setup acts at the limit. I wasn't asking how my car would perform with the same sway bar.

                    My friends car with a big rear sway bar on its softest setting makes the car really prone to oversteer and we have similar spring rates including F:R ratio (both H&R).

                    I actually havent rebuilt my rear end yet which will start very soon. I'm going to hold off purchasing a rear bar until I see how the complete car works together afterwards.
