is it really that bad? It definitely isn't fun, especially without a lift. For the rear you will have to slightly lower your fuel tank and possibly your exhaust to get the old one out and squeeze the new one in. Again, this task is a pain in the ass with no lift. You get the lime green ones? -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

Well that was a PITA, took 6 hours with 2 friends helping, the exhaust bolts were rusted on, which took 2 hours to get it off, then the manuveing of the bars in and out gas tank etc, front and rear are on though, hoping to go for a drive in the morning as long as there is no snow on th eground

Congrats on the install!
As others have said, nothing has pissed me off as much as installing a rear swaybar, I can't even remember how I got it on. Think I just went **** it, push! Great modification, worth the effort!!! |

Tires are next lol, the ones i have now are sticky, but could always be stickier, and what do you all have your rear set on? for now mine is set on understeer since they are thicker i wanted to get used to them before going really stiff lol, thoughts?
