335is upgrades

Is a 335is front sway bar a good upgrade for my e90 328i? Is there a difference between both swaybars? Also will it mess up the oem handling of the car?

Same part number (26.5MM hollow). Isn't the point of upgrading this to NOT be OEM handling? Look for M3 (26.5mm Solid) or aftermarket.

I'm using the whiteline front bar kit, reduced body roll, no complaints from me.

As far as I know, the swaybar doesn't change any suspension geometry other than stiffen things up. The swaybar connects to end links that are on the side of the front struts. If it's the correct part for your car, the holes all line up the same.

A proper alignment wouldn't hurt tho, especially if it hasn't been done in a while.
