M235i Rear Sway Bar??
I'm looking for a larger rear sway bar for the M235i.
The largest I have found is the H&R 20mm. Does anyone know of a larger then 20mm that is available? I have the Mperformance LSD in my car. Looking for something comparable to the rear bar on the M2's |

dinan is 19mm, H&R 20mm... not always down to the size of the bar though, the stiffness varies manufacturer to manufacturer

***Spoke to Afe again today but still don't have rates for these springs. Their HAS set is 190-240lb progressive up front and 700lb linear rear though and the rep I spoke to said the regular lowering springs are stiffer than F80 stock but not the same rates as the HAS..***

I think the AFE bar is hollow? If it is then it's probably no stiffer then the H&R sway bars.
Problem is, a sway bar that thick starts running into clearance issues. Not only that but why anyone thinks they need front OR rear sways that are this stiff is beyond me. The car is going to feel awful with soft springs and it's going to be picking up wheels. It might look cool in autocross pictures but your car is not going to be any faster.

So I've had had the car back after all of the suspension work and wow what a difference! The Afe sways and springs keep the car so much more stable and planted on all surfaces. Even on washboard type pavement the car feels very stable. It is not bouncy, even in comfort mode, and in Sport/Sport + it's very firm but never jarring or uncomfortable. It feels better the faster you go!
I can definitely see how a true LSD would improve things, DSC engages much more frequently if I'm not using the e-lsd. It's also much easier to notice the e-lsd working when it is engaged. No fitment issues with the AFE sways so I can recommend them to anyone looking yo reduce body roll without compromising ride quality. The AFE F80 springs fit as well, but seem to be too short for the front. The car is pretty raked - front tires tucked slightly with about an inch wheel gap in the rear... With the Dinan bumpstops it isn't an issue though; I've only bottomed out the front on large bumps going fast on surface streets. The cost of making custom lower spring pads to increase travel quickly rose beyond the point of it adding value, so I'll probably keep these springs until the dampers blow or until I get coilovers. I am really happy with the way he car rides, and if you are ok with the raked look then the AFE Springs for the F80/F82 might be an option for you too. I'll try and get some better pictures when the weather here clears up and I can wash my car again.
