E93 Front Sway Bar / Stabilizer
I have a 2012 128i M Pkg car, and ordering the E93 front bar / stabilizer.
My question is, do I need to replace/order the right and left stabilizer link's? The part numbers for both chassis are different. Thanks for the help, Eric |

I got a used M3 bar from another forum member. Haven't installed it yet, but according to him, all you need is the bar itself, the two metal clamps, and the two rubber clamp inserts. The endlinks may be different (and the M3 versions are beefier, I believe), but they are not required.
This post/DIY also seems to aver that fact: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9197628

Like other's have advised, super simple, and super easy when using a lift like I had the chance to use thanks to my buddy. We tagged teamed this in no more than about 45 minutes start to finish. Had fun. Don't know how you have a better Sat mornin'. Last edited by 128_Pilot; 11-26-2011 at 01:45 PM.. Reason: to add photos |
