Are they worth it and decrease body roll? I currently have Bilstein coilovers, but I still experience body roll. I have a non-sport e60 and I wanted to get some opinions from fellow members who have done this mod on their e60 or previous cars.

My good friend had a E46 M3. I thought you couldn't get better than the stock set-up, but I was wrong. He put ACS sway bars on and it cornered like no other. If a M3 can benefit, no question a E60 can benefit from a sway bar upgrade. I think it will be night and day, compared to the non-sport sway bars.

What brand do you recommend? I know ACS and H&R makes them, but the H&R price is very tempting.

I believe the ACS are made by Eibach, not a 100% sure on that.

I would say H&R. They are thicker than the Eibachs.

Both bars on the H&R's are adjustable, only the rear is on the Eibachs.

So I should get front and back? I noticed that I need more of the rear because I tend to fish tail out of turns.

Yes get the complete set.

I know on my buddies M3, the installer at CEC said to watch out on the max setting. The car can snap loose without warning. I don't think the E60 will have this problem, the M3 suspension is a lot tighter.
