Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 11:24:25 -0800 Here's information I've collected on BMW and aftermarket anti-roll bars. I hope it helps you plan your upgrade (including upgrading an E36 325i/328i to M3 specs).
D I A M E T E R Adjustable (Y/N)
FRONT REAR
BMW
E36 328i (base) 24 mm 15 mm No
95 E36 M3 23 mm 20 mm No
M-Technic 25.5 mm 18 mm No
AFTERMARKET RD Sport 27 mm 22 mm Yes Korman 27 mm 22 mm Yes Eibach 26 mm 24 mm ?? Dinan 22 mm 21 mm Yes Thanks to Brian and Nat at Bavarian Professionals of Berkeley for helping me pull the information on BMW anti-roll bars. Information on aftermarket anti-roll bars came from previous posts to the BMW digest. Who would have expected the M3 to have a smaller front bar than a 328i??!! If anyone has info on the 96-99 M3 suspension and the optional E36 325i/328i Sport package (is that the M-Technic?), let me know and I'll repost the table above. Thanks.

Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 16:24:40 -0500 nice list, jay. however, if the *biggest* is what you're after, there may be a solution that is offered...by BMW. i've spoke to jason _at_ zionsville autosport and another 330ti owner that they do indeed have the stock 318ti front sway bars with their 6-cylinder motors in place. most people know that the ti bars bolt to the control arm (where M3 bars bolt to the strut). we're installing the 3.2L M3 motor into the 318ti this weekend and one of the items we're addressing is the front sway bar. by using stock M3 sway bar links in conjunction with an M3 compatible strut, we can connect the 28mm 318ti bar just like the M3 bar. however, we've not go the BIGGEST bar available. will keep you updated on the results. bl ben liaw powersolution.com t | 201.493.1414 x 303 f | 201.493.8494 |
