rear sway bar
I tried to search the rear sway bar DIY, but I can't find any. Do I have to lower the subframe in order to change it? Thank you.

OP, before you mod the sway bar, how about making some alignment changes first? I was happier with the car (a bit more neutral) by changing the rear toe settings

Thanks. What's your current setting? I can ask the alignment shop to try that. Do you think a bigger rear sway bar is too much for this car?

FL camber -0.5 caster 6.6 toe 0.14 SAI 13.9 Included angle 13.4 FR camber -0.9 caster 6.5 toe 0.14 SAI 14.8 Included angle 13.9 cross camber 0.3 cross caster 0.1 total toe 0.28 RL camber -1.6 toe 0.12 RR camber -1.6 toe 0.12 total toe 0.24 thrust angle 0 From the factory the rear settings were camber -2.1 degrees and toe 0.18 degrees. Car was previously a bit understeering and with the decrease in negative camber and decrease in positive toe in the rear it got a bit more neutral Good luck. I wouldn't say a rear bar is too much, I just think its more $ than an alignment and might be worth your while to try cheaper stuff first |

Not sure if I'd personally prioritize the sway bar. How about something like KW v3 suspension kit? |

v3 is like 10 times more expensive than just the sway bar. I'm having adaptive suspension right now, not sure how will the kw module works with the computer. Plus i used to have the v3 on my e90, it was very good for first 10k miles. But after that, I have to keep making it stiffer and stiffer until 1 click to max out the compress and rebound. Maybe I just ask too much out of the e89.

not sure though if sway bar is going to help with roll but stiffer dampers and springs would |
