I have the front installed, you can feel a slight decrease in body roll for sure. I greased my polyurethane bushings and can still hear a faint noise under load. Nothing crazy though, still a good upgrade IMO

The M3 front arms won't do anything to help reduce the leaning when the vehicle turns. That's what the front sway bar is for. Harder suspension would help too, but I see that you've already got the B12 ProKit so you've taken care of that already.

Feedback from a VLN e90 which I mechanic for, was that the front end pushed like mad with a solid front bar. I think it was an eibach one they tested. Either that or H&R. They found that a softer (stock) front bar works better. Thats on a car with KW 2-way competition shocks, and appropriate springs.
For street use, where you're not using all the grip a Michelin slick can offer, a fat front bar probably feels great on turn in. But mid corner you'll have less grip than with the stock bar, despite all the body roll that the stock bar allows. |

This might be a dumb question... If the sway bar was upgraded, would an alignment still be a requirement or it is not required?

I’m on a e92 with Koni yellow and eibach springs. Body roll was originally atrocious and it got a little better with the upgraded suspension but I don’t want the ride quality to get worse just to get better cornering. I think I’ll buy one and leave feedback afterwards
Also have m3 control arms installed |

The Eibach swaybars are tuned to the springs found in the B12 kit. I don't think the car will be lower than your car is currently, with the M-sport suspension. If it is lower, it will be negligible. |
