dinan sway bars

Any benefit to putting on the dinan sway bars and leaving otherwise stock suspension as is? I find the one thing that could use a bit of work is the body roll. Or would this upset the balance of things?

you may want to look at E93 M3 sways.
They're thicker than E90 or E92s but slightly thinner than Dinans' but it's 1/2 of price.
And I think it shouldn't upset any balance since it's still "stock" setup.

oh great idea, did not even know that. Has anyone done this or is this hard to get changed?

Front is easy. The rear subframe must be dropped to change out the rear sway bar.

argg, might not be worth it. Funny when you look on the net all the non-m 3 series guys are "upgrading" to the m3 bar which we all get. Funny how you always want more and more! After doing some reading I do not think it sounds like a good idea to replace sway bars without taking the entire suspension into account as it can actually worsen grip and handling.
