Question about sway bar upgrade
I have a 2015 535i xDrive (F10 LCI) Luxury Line and looking to upgrade the sway bars using this kit:
https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...r-upgrade-kit/ I've been reading all I can about the process but can't get clarity on a couple of things. Does anyone know if I also need to replace the front end links as well? If so, which end links do I need? I've scoured realoem.com to find part numbers for end links from an F10 LCI M5 but I can't even find any parts for an F10 LCI M5. Was there such a thing? I can find an F10 pre-LCI M5 on their site, but not LCI. From what I can figure, I would actually want to be getting the front sway bar from an F10 M5 CS, which came out in 2014. Also can't find a part number for that on realoem.com My plan is to continue to hunt down the front sway bar from an F10 M5 CS, (and maybe the end links as well?) and get the 650i rear sway bar. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. |

My advice based on personal experience....
You're clearly looking to stay with BMW equipment from other models. No need to go larger than M5 on the front. Keep in mind - compliance means grip. Adding stiffness removes grip. Making the front stiffer and stiffer removes front grip, increasing understeer. I get that the stock car rolls way too much, but remember that you're playing with the balance of the car when you're making these changes. |
