RD Anti Roll bars... Should we expect good results from sways?

gthirtyfizle · 01-12-2010, 05:19 PM

Im thinking about picking these up. I remember on my G35, adjustable sways made the beiggest diff in the handling dept. I know the M is in no way like a g35 but my question is, can we expect good results from these? Or r the M stock ones good enough?

Just looking into it a bit. Seems like its gonna b A LOT of work to get these installed. Wondering if its worth the hassle.

It's impossible to say without knowing the actual rates. Moreover, considering how much work it is on the rear axle (need to drop complete subframe), it's really not worth it IMO.

And no, do NOT get the front sway only option on your stock suspension. That would only induce understeer.

I always take caution when I am thinking about getting aftermarket sway bar on high performance car like M3.

IMO, unless you are planning to do full suspension work, upgraded wheel/tire, I would not touch stock M3's sway bar.

M3's stock handling balance is very excellent and the body roll is very minimal too.

If you are running slicks(or higher tire grip than stock wheel/tire) or full stiffer coilover(running at more aggressive alignment spec)...that's totally different story tho.
