There are 18 E60 in S'pore running H&R swaybars including myself.

U can ask the 17 guys how they're enjoying their mods.

If so, why bother? Is a piece of steel better then the other?

Yes... well... sorta. It depends on how you want to tune. Notice that the M5 has different anti-sway bars than the non ///M E60's.

By THAT much?!? So much as to be able to see a difference on a street car which goes on the streets and has behind the wheel most probably an amateur?!? I doubt that a different rod of steel can change the handling to any degreee that can be felt... No offence, just my two cents.

Cos you dun mod your car to handle better than stock.

Those of us who are serious in improving our cars to handle better will know how good these H&R swaybars are & what a difference it makes.

Why dun you get a set & try them out??? If you can afford a E60, I'm sure you can afford the swaybars.

My 17 E60 & 3 E63 customers here will be ready to tell you how good they are.

Cheers

Wilson
