You mean between front and rear sway bars? If I had to choose, I would absolutely go with RSBs...

x2. Although I have fsb & rsb on my E30 and it rides really well. But it's an old(er) car.

Yes, you need to call them. They don't have it in stock yet so it's not on their website. They can order it for you from H&R. I haven't seen the invoice yet because they have to receive it from H&R and then ship it to me, but I think the cost was ~$330 or so. I should see the invoice this week sometime.

It would be approximately as noticeable as if you had DHP in Sport--which is to say, you most probably will feel like you got your money's worth.

This may sound like a total noob question but...
If i get the H&R sways will i still be able to install coils afterwards using these sways?
or do coils require different sway bars?

Reason i ask is cause i have never seen the need to switch sways before the the f30 is too "floaty" for my liking.
that and my buddies BRZ required new sways when he install coils.

I was just looking at these on Turner's site the other day. I had front and rear H&R's on my stage 2 MKVI GTI and the difference was incredible. Coming from that, my 335 basically feels fat and sloshy.

I've actually never owned an AWD before though, so I'm curious how the xDrive responds to a stiffer front and rear.

Anyone have any insight?

If I'm not mistaken, sway bars will not reduce the feeling of floatiness over bumps. To fix this you will need to change the springs/shocks.

What the bars are intended for is to reduce roll during cornering. Someone please do correct me if I am wrong.

FYI--I have just confirmed with Turner Motorsport that the 328i H&R rsb is now also on the 328d fitment list.

Has anyone tried H&R's bigger Sway Bars on a 328 xDrive sedan or wagon? I am particularly interested in the difference in handling with the stock xDrive suspension.
Thanks in advance ......

For those who got it installed,
how is the handling?
Do you guys think that the upgrade would be worth it with Kw v2 coilovers and camber plates already installed?

Thanks
