Interested in knowing what people think about the front and rear stress bars and or X-brace on a 99 M3 or similar year/model M-car. Also want to know the difference in conering and handling that resulted with the use of these items.
Can an X-brace be used on the front then a stress bar on the rear?

I am looking to better the cornering or sway a little and want to know if this is an good and economical solution for the price.

Thanks.

If you're looking for the biggest bang for the buck in improving cornering and reducing body roll get the largest sway bars you can for the car. The x-brace and rear stress bars are only benificial if you've added stiffer springs and shocks. The order of improvements I would make are: Sway Bars, Shocks, Spings, Braces.
