Hi,

My friend got a e90 sport package 325i. He asked me about sway bar thing. But i don't know anything about it? can anyone answer it for me?
1) Is it a huge difference if i install the rear sway bar only comparing to installing the front and rear only?
2) Will it increase the stiffness of the ride?
3) What should he go for if he doesn't want to void the warranty?

There's a group buy trying to get started for the sway bars & chassis brace with regard to the E90/92/93 platforms.

Here's some information about the Hotchkis sway bars offered by HP Autowerks ......... as far as the warranty void goes; the warranty will become void with regard to anything/part you RR on the car. If you change your intake to aftermarket ....... exhaust to aftermarket etc ...... tire and wheel insurance coverage (if purchased separately from the dealer) remains in effect no matter what tires/wheels are installed.
