Has anyone ever tried retrofitting a M5 sway bar setup? According to the specs, it seems that the M5 sways are pretty good compared to the H&Rs and ACS sways.

For those who have tried- did it fit perfectly?

Thanks

Here's the post with the diff sway bar specs:
sways

ACS
Front 25mm
Rear 19mm

FYI- I just purchased some M5 sways off of a M5 owner for $180. It was $300 less than the other sways I was looking at and the dimensions seemed to be similar to me.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Awesome, Thanks! I was worried there might be some fitment issues. It's a great deal for those looking to upgrade.

$180 for a front and rear M5 sway? that's a great deal
i paid $400 for my H&R sways...
please let us know how it goes. how heavy is the M5 bars compare to your OEM bars?
the front of the H&R is just a tad thicker, but at least twice as heavy.

also, don't need to pay big bucks for install, all the performance store quotes over $200 for install, just go to any garage shop and it should just be 1 hour of labor for both front and rear. i watched the guy did it, and if i can jack my car up 5 ft in air i could have DIY.

I got my sway bars installed over the weekend. They make a noticeable difference. They are definitely thicker and heavier than stock. Only H&R sways are heavier or thicker.

I installed:

Sport Struts
H&R Spacers
Front and Rear sways

Total: $360 (includes cost of spacers)

Pretty good deal. They also powdercoat and repair wheels at this shop (TWS).
