Eibach Anti-Roll Bar kit for 335i E90

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EI...0/?image=large

I am considering installing these sway bars (probably buying them through Tire Rack-this is just a better pic) when I install the Koni FSD/Pro-kit on my 335i e90.

Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) with these on their BMW?

Personally, I would only get a matched kit. Doing everything at once is going to make it hard to know what affected your ride if you need to change it later. I'm not sure most people really need sways with lowering springs. Making EVERYTHING stiffer isn't always better.l

Well these sways are matched to work with the Eibach pro-kit springs, that's one reason I am thinking about this set.

If thats the case, great! It may save you a little $$$ as the rear bar is a PITA instal. Still, personally I would do the springs first, decide if that is what I liked or not, and then go more aggressive (with the bars) if I wanted more.

If you know you want to make the leap, then go for it. A matched set is better than piecemill

Ive been using this kit along with ohlins suspensions, excellent result! these swaybars along greatly reduce body roll and understeering. it'd be better if those're hollow though.

Very interesting thread, but it seems to focus more on the swapping out the stock suspension for the M3 version. I may have missed it, but I didn't see a whole lot on sway bars.

Could you please elaborate on what I should be considering before installing aftermarket anti roll bars.

And I did look at the EAS site and their Anti roll bar kits before, but if I do get sway bars, I would prefer to go with a kit that would be engineered with products I am already planning on installing. Certainly nothing against any of those kits.
