How exactly does the roll control systems increase the performance of the suspension? Will it fit on my 530i?

From Dinan site:

Front Roll-Control System - "Relocates the stock anti-roll bar pick up points for increased wheel rate. Retains the computer controlled anti-roll bars."

Rear Roll Control System - "Rear Roll-Control System increases the wheel rate by relocating the stock anti-roll bar pick up points. The rear system is adjustable, enabling you to fine tune for closer to neutral balance."

Fitment for E60 545i and 550i only.

I read the description on the Dinan site, but I still don't quite understand what it does.

I helps to eliminate body rolls when doing hard cornering

Is the suspension on the 545/550's different from the 530's? I would love to take these control arms off your hands and have less body roll in the corners.

Since these connects to the stock roll bar of the E60, I believe that these are specifically for 545/550 per Dinan site.

Instead of replacing the factory swaybars with larger units, the Dinan roll control system relocates the mounting tab on the factory sway bars closer so that it's tighter thereby reducing body roll during cornering.

I have the Dinan front roll control system and rear sway bar on my M5 and I think it's a great improvement on handling. The car is flat on turns.
