Upgrading swaybars

Post by BillW »

I have a set of e34 M5 sway bars and brackets. These were for my e28 years ago
I am looking for feedback on this modification on a e24, and also advice on whether to do Front or both Front and Rear.
This is a 1987 street car.

TIA

I plugged in

then to front bar

It shows compatibility but you'll have to check on what you have to be sure.

Yes I know they will fit.
I would like people's experience with the swap and whether they feel that it helps to upgrade the rear sway bar as well.

I misread your post. I always had bars in pairs so no info from me on running just one.
