Sway Bars? - BMW Forum

Ive got a 95 325i, are sway bars worth purchasing? They are quite cheap, and was wondering your thoughts on their impact?

Funny, I had the same question.
I have an opportunity to get some at a good price but I'm planning on keeping my stock suspension.

the front is worth it, especially if you can get a decent price. You probably wouldn't notice a difference on the rear unless you took it to a track.

How much are sway bars?

wulley1 · 05-07-2005, 01:20 AM

about $250 for the front $200 for the rear. Those are just average prices I have seen, some will be more, and some will be less.

Hmm..Is the front one the same as the one under the hood...?...Will thats one help?...

Its a different things Deef. But when i going to get mine Ill get both front and rear. It does make a difference not only on track (i struggle on the track without sway bars changed) but in a city as well.
Good luck.

THis is a strut brace(the thing right under the hood, across the engine)

This is a sway bar

I don't know much about suspension but am guessing they do similar things in a different way. They both increase the rigidity.

Get them. Don't think about it, it's worth it. Just do it.

What do you guys think about buying some used sway bars off of a 95 M3? Would they fit my '94 325is ok?

theruss1an1 · 02-18-2006, 10:43 PM

Rear sway bar is the same size. Front is little bigger I think. But all this dont matter because the m3's have the sway bars connected to the struts, 325's are connected to the control arms.

Do not get just the front sway bar. It may feel better at low speeds but your car will understeer horribly if you ever really start driving your car. And your car will want to 3 wheel more so than it already does.
