Sway/Strut Bars for the 2 series...

VMRWheels · 08-30-2014, 03:32 PM

Will be going in for test fit/R&D of the Hotchkis sways later on this week. I'll post an update soon!

Any updates? I'm curious how the 2 responds to upgraded sway bars. In my past cars that I've modded, they've been the biggest bang for the buck in tightening up the handling.

Still waiting on their official production of the F22 specific part. I'll contact them today to see if I can get any specific info (technical specs etc).

Do you have to drop the subframe to install these like in the e92?

s2kmotoracer · 11-03-2014, 03:18 AM

I've been patiently waiting for a sway kit for my M235...when will these be coming to market? Is there something already out that can fit; say kits for the M135i? Have H&R springs with spacers. Need upgraded sway bars in my life ASAP

!!

I have racing dynamics sways on my m135i. I am very happy with them, and they will definitely fit your car. I went with the rd's because the rear bar is larger than h&r and Eibach offerings meaning less understeer.

Icy J · 11-07-2014, 09:37 AM

Is it possible that a front strut bar for a M135 would fit on my 220?

SWAY BAR UPDATE!

Hotchkis installed their F+R prototype kit on my car last week. We're scheduled to hit Streets of Willow next week for slalom/skid pad/full track tests. As far as street driving goes.. so far thoroughly impressed.

I'll keep you guys updated

Awesome, looking forward to hearing more.

nzw212 · 12-01-2014, 09:09 PM

Sways are one of my favorite upgrades. I'll be watching this thread carefully.

Thanks for the update! Been waiting for a quality kit since I picked my baby up, so this is good news.

Any specific timeline as to when these will become available, or is it still a ways off?

th1rd3y3 · 01-10-2015, 06:10 PM

Any updates on this? I really want to get a decent sway bar lined for this coming autox season!

I chose them over h&r or Eibach because rd has a larger diameter rear bar which further reduces understeer.
Www.racing-dynamics.net

I also used their springs which were great before going to TCKline racing coilovers.
My car is a m135i which is mechanically identical

Can you post a link? I can't find it on their site.

m235imingrey · 01-14-2015, 03:55 PM

Hey guys,
new to the forum here... Worked for BMW for 2 years and happily own a 2014 Mineral gray M235i (8spd auto) with black leather interior. Premium, DA package and thats about it.
Being new to the forums I cant't make a new thread or post something for sale.

I've got some parts I acquired from the dealership I worked at and thought someone from here could use them. The parts were on the car for about 3000 miles and are still in great condition.

H&R lowering springs (racing version) and H&R front and rear sway bars.

I have posted them on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-R-BMW-M235...9fa9bb&vxp=mtr

I researched the prices of these new so I've priced them fairly but am open to fair offers.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email:

mike.bakhsheshi@hotmail.com

sorry to post this here and go off topic but I didn't have any other option until I eventually get access?

Sorry for the delayed response.

Rd website unfortunately cannot link to specific sections.

Try this:
Www.racing-dynamics.net
Tuning
Bmw
2'
Fahrwerk

Cheers,
Chris

KAY-OS · 04-02-2015, 04:58 AM

Hello everyone. I wrote an email to H&R in February about the sway bar for the m235i. They said the sway bars should be launched in early April. Can't wait!
