pinguhk, can you explain what is the purpose of these bars?

I guess they add more stiffness to the suspension, but can you give some more details? Are you tracking the car, do these bars have other effects on the suspension in street use?

do you have more details from other people that have these bars? (not on E60s, I see you are looking for such members here)

cheers

Are these similar to H&R or Eibach's front and back / upper and lower anti sway bar?

no, this is a completely different animal.

the sway bars move with the suspension, but reduce body roll in corners. you can see them in the pic - the thin black bars attached with two black brackets to the bottom of the car.

the bars here add stability and stiffness to the subframes as I see it.

hopefully pinguhk will add more colour.

I definitely want to know what the advantages are (if any) to this mod. Or is it just merely a vanity mod?
