Does anyone have any experience with spacers?
I'm looking at this set: http://www.supremepowerparts.com/1444347/0/0/6461/2010_BMW_535I_XDRIVE_L6_3.0L_T_FI_(N54B30A).html



I'm trying to reduce body roll with the easiest and cheapest method.
I don't want to spend $1k on coil overs since I can't get springs alone because I own an X-Drive.


What do you guys suggest?
Are spacers (15mm) an easy "fix" to reduce body roll?


I have read up on the "added stress to the suspension components" and other negatives such as the spacers getting stuck on the rotors.

Spacers will push the wheels out slightly, giving a better stance and will improve handling somewhat..but to really reduce body roll you should look into some sway bars...H&R makes some good ones and they are very reasonably priced. Please take a look at the below link for more information, and please let me know if you had any other questions or concerns.

Note: these Sway Bars will not fit cars with Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) AKA Dynamic Drive...

in addition stiffening up the suspension will reduce body roll as well

...A LOT!

I'd LOVE to stiffen up the suspension and do strut bars, but this is not really an option for me since my 535i is X-DRIVE.

CAL, it specifically says on your site that the strut bar will NOT work for X-Drive cars.


Also, to stiffen up the suspension, the only option I have will be with coil overs correct, or have I been misinformed?

for an XI you can do coilovers, or keep the stock shocks and go with H&R sport springs

I got 12 mm SCC spacers rear and the Eibach Pro Kit and 19" Style 172M wheels
with 245/275 tires.

The car handles very nice.

there are front and rear strut braces available for XI vehicles as well as coil overs. spacers will not improve/reduce body roll. the only possible way is to change out your suspension and add strut braces. I know you're looking for an inexpensive mod, but in your case there just aren't any. when it comes to BMWs you've got to pay to play

PM Nerweezy for your modding needs.
