Which sway bars? Dinan, H&R or Eibach?

Im looking to upgrade the sway bars on my 2014 M5. Im looking for some feed back on if the Dinan bars are worth the almost twice the price over the H&R bars?

I have always been a fan of eibach springs and sways and used them on the both my previous M3's but I cant seem to find any for the M5.

So has tried what?

I have the Dinan swaybars and they are incredible. The car is so darn flat. Worth the money.

I think Dinan are the only people who make them for the M5

They are good but expesive. I wouldn't recommend the springs as I found them softer than CP springs and moved to KW V3

You can just do the CP front bar if you have stock m5 I heard that cp bar makes a difference.

I was considering it since the front CP bar is only like $350, but if Im going to do it I would rather go big and have the adjustability of the dinan bars.

I paid £750 for fitting the bars and springs, so worth getting the right one, I changed my springs once and that was an expensive mistake

Yeah my top actual choices were the CP front bar(rear is the same) and eibach springs which would have been under $700 total. Or the dinan bars and KW HAS for about $2000.

Im not looking to just spend money, but after coming from an E36 M3 and then a E92 M3 I want the handling and I dont want to do it twice.

KW V3's and Dinan Sways sound like your best answer. Drastically changed the handling characteristics for me.
