That's what the sways will do. I will be happy to report since I'm still on stock sways and I'll know if there's a difference with the new strut brace once its installed

If you didn't like what the sways did I highly doubt you'll like a strut bar. Think of the solid point mounts it has vs the flex you get out of the sway bars... I would assume it'll make it even stiffer. To me the sways simply just removed body roll, I would not personally say the car has a worse ride... it just doesn't roll.
FYI my strut was lost intransit and now I'm waiting a month before he can even ship again. I'm wondering if he just wanted to hold my money and draw this out til his new batch came in.... sucks. |

a lot of guys whose posted here in the last few years after upgrading their sways reported a harsher ride which is what's going to happen. at that time aftermarket strut braces weren't even being made for our F10's. so most of them gave up the BMW luxury comfort for a tighter response since those guys were tracking their cars. if this strut bar allows me a little bit more of me hitting corners a little bit harder with a little less body roll than i think i'll be more than happy since i love how the car rides on my KW's right now

Oh, for all of you who jacked up your threads on install, my coilovers which I posted about have bolts that come up through the perch. That is one potential fix!

I did not use thread lock, I just did them snug since even if the nuts came off unless all three came off and you jumped your car, at least with the studs coming up through the holes, it wouldn't really be an issue, not good, but not an issue. Gravity holds it in place.

I just messaged the guy on ebay and the item they shipped back on 2/3 is finally registering with their tracking system in Latvia... looks like per USPS it'll be out for delivery today! I have no meetings at work so that thing is going on as soon as I get it! I'll post pics.

I am definitely disinfecting mine when I get it. lol. I'm in logistics and ETA's are getting all jacked up due to this... it's a mess.
Man... turns out the package arriving was a frozen sing along my parents got for my 4 year old daughter... I couldn't be more disappointed; and soon to be annoyed. Last edited by BimmerHausPerformance; 03-10-2020 at 10:55 AM.. |

It just came in and I got it installed. I had quite a time getting it in so I'll do a quick video on it and post it here soon... It didn't exactly just slide right in.

haven't put mine in yet since i'm still working on the dp but i don't know if mine was backordered like yours since i received it before you. i also have coilovers so i shouldn't have any cross threading issues like others. don't have an intake so i won't have to worry about what you had to do with the grommet in the back and having to pull the intake forward. well just see. will let you know how it goes. good to hear you feel a difference which is what everyone wanted to know. great video btw!!!

Yea, there are some good bars out there, but that one is 218 bucks. This one was like 80 after shipping. I would rather have an aluminum one that I had to haggle a bit with for cheap vs spending that money. I can buy end links with my extra cash :-D

Sweet! I am looking at those too. Can you please give us a review of what you think? Are things a lot stiffer in the back? Do you have any other suspension mods?

This isnt my car above. I had those in my 528i and I had Koni Sport shocks with M5 oem sway bars and stock springs. The car was amazing.
