    If not, you will effectively increase the diameter of your swaybar, and you will probably preload it, which is usually not desirable.
    I have E36 M3 struts.

      Then you should do it, but you may want to measure first...you might find e30m3 or e36m3 fits better.

        I planned on E30 M3, thus the question ;)

          So, whose car is this? My buddy just bought a house out South Hill and I'm pretty sure this is his neighbor.

                  lol car is running really good! I have this ICV issue, but I am hoping somebody will let me swap in theirs at the picninc just so I can see how it runs with a good one.

                        Its letting too much air through and giving me a super high idle, but it buzzes and opens/closes the flap as if it works. So dont know if my DME is retarded or if its the actual thing

                          I would recommend using the IE links.

                          When I first purchased my car the end links were missing and after digging through boxes I found that I had the stock ones so I bolted them on. After less than 200 miles, which is how long it took for me to get my new IE links, I found that the stock M3 links were bent.

                          When you use after market parts you have to think about what the weakest link is in every situation. There is a reason that IE's links are stronger. The 25mm bar does put that much more stress on the system.


                          (Just my opinion though.)

                              Thanks for the detailed response. I currently have the IE hardware and they suck ass. They loosen up all the time no matter what and make an annoying clunking noise constantly. A lot of people have recommended the E30 M links, so I figured it would be a safe route to go. I just picked a set up tonight so I'll put them on Saturday and enjoy a quiet front end for once! Hopefully they will hold up, unlike the IE hardware!

                                The TPS controls the icv. Test it first
