Hi Guys,
I'm currently using H&R coilover for my car. Thinking of getting the H&R sway bars front and rear.
I noticed there is a big difference on the diameter compared to the stock sway bars, especially the rear sway bars.
Stock(mm) H&R(mm)
Front: 25.5 27
Rear: 14.5 19
Anyone have experience on the handling or the ride quality? With stock suspension will be fine.
Just curious about the difference.
Thanks

sway bars would greatly reduce body roll in turns. run a search here on e60 for the "H&R sway bars" and you'll find threads about them. you could also pm member pinguhk who has the H&R sways with stock suspension. he has also chimed in on previous threads about them as well.

Can you add sway bars to a UK SE spec car even if you didn't get the factory Dynamic Drive option?

Does ARS means dynamic drive?
My car is 645ci. My only concern is the dynamic drive. Will check underneath my car tomorrow.
Thanks,

Yes it does mean dynamic drive. If you have dynamic drive, then ARB's (sway bars) are out the window
