New Release: UUC Tubular Sway Bars for BMW E90 E92 RWD & Xi - 15lbs Lighter!
NEW! Lightweight tubular design has the same functionality as our solid swaybars but saves approximately 15lbs of weight. Front and rear bars are available separately - special discounted pricing when you buy both. Suitable for 335i, 330i, 328i, 325i 335Xi, 330Xi, 328Xi, 325Xi models (RWD and Xi) Now you can have the same swaybar technology used in the official BMW 335d racecars! UUC is proud to have been the manufacturer of swaybars for the 335d racecars campaigned by BMW USA. What's a Sway Bar? An anti-sway bar is a suspension component designed to reduce body roll. It keeps your vehicle flatter in the turns by transferring the pressure exerted on the outboard wheels and applying opposite pressure on the inboard wheels. In this way weight is more evenly applied to all four wheels, helping the vehicle stay more level with the road. Technical details As an example of our attention to detail, the E90 3-series Sway Barbarians is a very unique set of bars. Features include: - Revised contouring for maximum clearance even with extremely lowered cars. - Precision-cut adjustable ends. - Urethane bushings and lubrication included. Sizes TUBULAR DIAMETER SOLID EQUIVALENT FRONT 30mm 27mm REAR 25mm 23.8mm Superior Materials We put our bars through this extensive process to insure that the final product will be the strongest, most durable bar on the market, and that it will be the most resistant to form alteration. Adjustability Our rear E90 Xi swaybar uses a multi-hole system on the rear bars which allows for fine tuning of the bar for whatever desired effect, without sacrificing body roll. Front Bar: non-adjustable Rear Bar: 2 hole adjustment Powdercoated Finish After the bars are CNC mandrel bent and the ends are forged and punched, a silver powdercoat is applied for a smooth, long lasting finish in a similar process to how factory bars are coated. This smooth finish allows the bars, when properly installed with polyurethane bushings and grease, for long term performance with minimal maintenance. Polyurethane Bushings and steel brackets The SwayBarbarians include replacement polyurethane bushings which are built to "aircraft spec" (literally - our urethane fabrication facility uses the same material and production guidelines as they do for Boeing). This results in a durable bushing that will not disintegrate and has longer re-lubrication intervals for long lasting, quiet results. Be sure to use generous amounts of grease to ensure maximum performance from your SwayBarbarians! Steel brackets are included which replace the weaker original equipment aluminum brackets.

Has the solid front sway bar been completely replaced by this new tubular product? I see that UUC still carries the solid rear bar, but I no longer see the option to buy the front bar.
Is the thought that some might just want to update the rear bar hence the solid option? And the front and rear pairs are now just a lighter, tubular design? Also, is the tubular rear bar stiffer than the solid bar? The solid rear bar is 19.5mm, and you indicate that the solid bar equivalent to the tubular rear bar is 23.8mm. |

The stiffness is about = to the predecessor with the benefit now being that it's lighter. |
