135i Powerflex, E93 M3 Sways and Dinan Plates Install

Did the install in my garage. Had to let EFI Logics use the spring press to assemble the front suspension. E93 Sway bars went in fine, but the brackets are annoying and rears I needed to break the tabs off to get them in. Rear subframe inserts make a difference even at low speeds. Glad this install is done...

hi there, thanks for posting the pics and experience. I see the inserts are kind of thick, how much do you say they rise the rear? these may actually fit me as I have H&R springs and want to rise it, so if they rise enough I will leave H&R's in the back and just put OEM at the front. thanks in advance

Between the new front plates and the rear inserts the car did go up in height a tad. I didn't take any measurements, but I would guess maybe an 1/4 of an inch.

Keep in mind the difference in spring rates before you go ahead and run different springs front to rear.
