I totally lucked out on this $26 BMW swaybar find.
The little links are the original BMW that were mounted on the other side of the bar end and bolt onto the control arm in the hole provided by Heights...weird. Im making my own links with heims but just wanted to see how it all lined up.
$hithouse lucky this bar is bent like it is!

Obviously in the last pic you can see the BMW bushing was further to the end. Im thinkin the light weight car wont have much effect on the twist but its still better than none.

How on God's green earth did you ever convince BMW to engineer that swaybar to your needs........and in the past to boot?
I want to borrow your Time Machine. Please. I'll bring it right back, be like it never left!
Shoot, I'll bring it back before I borrow it.Last edited by STINEY; March 16th, 2012 at 06:59 AM.
Whether you can or can't, you are usually right.

Some say that German engineers over-engineer everything, I say they are forward thinking. After all, I'm sure in one of the project meetings at BMW someone said "but can this sway-bar fit on a VW bug that's powered by a SBC?" and the engineer said "on it."
life is too serious to take seriously

what I respect most about BMW is they don't throw away what they've learned as they design the next generation, they keep tweaking it and making it better.

Uummmmmmm....yep. Actually looks more compact and lighter than the 700r4 I have. Did you really have to do that? I could use the 700 for something else.Last edited by AFFORDILLAC; March 25th, 2012 at 08:31 PM.
