Front Sway Bar Option
Just want to give you guys a headsup that a front sway bar for a e90,e92 and e93 335i will fit our cars. I just installed and it and all went well-I bought my bar from ECS Tuning (house brand) because all the other bars were on backorder (including H&R) and they have them in stock. I hope this helps others looking for a front bar.

Good write up
The E90 front end is relatively easily transferable to the E89 in parts…pity the E89 ended up with the E85 design back end…
I assume the new bar is stiffer?
That will make the car understeer more..is that what you wanted?

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I am waiting for the rear bar to come in to balance out the rear. Unfortunately,the H&R is backordered until April-May,that's why I looked for an alternative to the front,as far as I know the rear is specific to the E89 unless someone knows of another series that works.

AFAIK the E89 rear end is almost unique…although conceptually it’s a near identical design of the E85 almost all the parts are unique due to the wider rear track of the E89..
I’m just experimenting with the RTAB assembly as that’s got some parts in common ..
I want to improve toe in control with stiffer RTAB bush assemblies..

That looks like one of the two bushes on the linkages at the back of the trailing arm..not the main pivoting trailing arm bush?
