Dinan sway bars? What setting did you go with?

PhilT3 · 04-14-2015, 09:16 PM

I'm having the sway bars installed next week.

I'm not sure what stiffness setting I should use.

I want to reduce body roll (obviously) but don't want to sacrifice ride quality as this is my daily driver, with 21's...on Northeast roads!

So, how 'extreme' can I go?

What did you do and how do you like it?

I just had them setup the car like Steve's. I can ask what settings that is.

Interested in the answer as well.

I just did middle setting. It helps tremendously during cornering. Combined with lowering springs (installed KW HAS) the M5 feels so much better around turns.

With middle setting, it's still very comfortable for DD

Middle for me as well. Handles much better than stock. Body roll is almost non-existent.

Where are you guys buying these for a good price? I was considering CP sways but this sounds like a better option.

I just bit the bullet and bought from dealer. Heard they're stiffer then CP sways.

Got mine from Chris Heck @ Sterling BMW. Got pretty good pricing on them.

They say they installed them at the mid set point but that's not correct I know one was set more stuff. Maybe the rear ?? I can't remember. Sorry!
