Ok cool. Hey where did you find your FSD'S so cheap at????
Nope, sway bar links do not need to be changed.
I have put 3 weeks onto the new setup now, and I might be taking the M6 sway bar off. The roll reduction isn't as drastic as the decrease in comfort. I guess the FSD and eibach has eliminated most of the body roll.
Personally, I would get the FSD and eibach first, then determine if you want it sportier, then go for the rear sway bar and drive it around again before considering front sway bar.[/QUOTE]

I just replaced my Koni FSD and Eibach springs with BC Racing coilovers and swift springs. I have no complaints about the FSD setup - it feels better than a stock sport setup. As I have had several E36's, I just wanted to be more connected to the road, and my BC coilovers plus powerflex bushings fit the bill.
