How much should a front/rear sway bar install cost for E92?

Anyone know around how much the install for a front and rear sway bar kit for the e92 335 would cost? Or should cost? Also, how big of an impact do upgraded sways make for the e92 because it already has stock sways, prolly not as stiff but still

Installation depends on the shop but should run around $350.

Definately makes a big difference, car feels a lot flatter. Not really stiffer

what do these upgraded sway bars cost (parts only) ?
and which bars u recommend?

i am a family man know and do not want to spend all that much: only a few hundred. note that my brother - in - law' s shop will do install free.

i have on order a 335i convert WITHOUT sport package (roads here not great, and do not want to bottom out).

i do not know very much re suspension, but my priorities are:
1/ same or very similar ride (under nromal driving conditions)
2/ biggest bang for buck: my guess is that the s bars would be most cost effective: better shocks will be mucho dinero right ???

If you have free quality labor then sways are a great option. If price is an issue the H&Rs are an excellent deal.

I prefer to stick with big brands so went with H&R. They cost $389 from www.autotalent.com including shipping

With FREE installation, it would definitely be worth it.

1. Ride quality feels tighter, not rougher
2. For shocks, go with KW coilovers. They are the best & priced fairly

Installation for just the rear sway bar was $200, front was $150. They were done separately so I could see the difference

I keep reading this recurrent issue: dropping the rear subframe adds to labor expense..for m3 rear subframe bushings and now the rear swaybar.

If i get new springs/struts don't they drop the rear subframe for installation? will wait till then for rear swaybar.

I have an e90. do not know about subframes.
