M3 sway bar links on my 318is..
« on: June 08, 2013, 06:28:02 PM »
Hey guys yesterday I welded some tabs on my 318is front strut tubes and installed m3 sway links.
I honestly didnt think it would be all that different.
I was wrong. Just pulling out of the drive way I could tell it was different.
I went for a short drive around and its a lot better. less sway l to r & maybe its
just me but it seems ride better overall.

the links were like $30
and I made the tabs on my grinder out of a piece of angle iron.

just wanted to let you all know its a good idea and very cheap.
I never claim to know everything,
 its that you don't know s***..

Thank you for the update, I asked about this in another thread. Don't the E36 cars use "e30 M3" sway links as well.. But a 318is should be capable of higher angle controlled skidding than an E30 M3, or any E36. Maybe with these longer end-links and M3 aka "offset" control arm bushings, one is sacrificing a special characteristic of the 318is to attain less sway and more control below the limit. I'm attracted to these bushings and these end-links over m3 parts for that reason but I'd need to try both setups. Feel free to fill me in!
