Received my front sway bar from
www.schmiedmann.com a week ago. What great service from them BTW.
Bar installed over the weekend. Total time was 1.5 hrs for me. Half hour of that was struggling to get the brackets off the OEM bushings. There are 2 notches on each bushing preventing the bracket from slipping off. After much sweat, I clamped the bar on my workbench vise to hold the bar while I pried the brackets loose. After that, it was clear sailing.
Was worth the cost and effort. Preliminary assessment, rides a little rougher over uneven roads, but very little roll on sharp and sweeping turns. Will put car on track in 2 wks for ultimate test.
Special thanks to "BMW DIY Guy" for pointing me to
