Now that's a present. It's frightening to think that I was 43 when you were born. When I was 20, I didn't think I would ever be this old.

Old is a state of mind,, as long as you're young at heart, that's all that matters,, by the looks of your e30 and your enthusiasm on this board, I wouldn't have put you at more than 35,, rock on Clay, you're the man

Happy B-day AL!!! Those bars look sweet,, post us some feedback fo sho,, I wanna look in to something like that for my baby....

What springs do you have?
Ive got the ST sways on my 318is with H&R sports/konis.  Its great, E30s should come from the factory like this. the bars make up for the soft springs so it handles good but still ridesd nice I love it.
They are pretty easy to install, im still using stock front links(ruins your geometry but my car came like that) ill upgrade to adjustable when I finish my m3 tabs on the M50 car. Off one car onto another the 318is is a whore:D

i got h&r oe sports for now (commute about 100 miles a day).  i have plans for either ground control coilovers or h&r race in the future. i also need front end links as well, i will most likely grab some ie adjustables before i slap these babies on..

Happy birthday!  Nice little present there.  I have the same ones, and they are stiff, for sure.  Make sure to weld on the trailing arm reinforcements, AND make some rear chassis mount backers!  I found this out the hard way, and it would have been a lousy birthday gift!

Awesome set of swaybars!  I also have these fitted to my iS!  Great addition and makes it handle just so sweet!  Enjoy them!

Happy bday dude! I thought you were older for some reason. Anywho, you know what you have to do now right?

3 wheel pic of your car or ban. :cool:

This is a requirement for anyone with a 19mm rear or larger. ;)
