Just got my F55 (yes I messed up my username ), and I want to take some of the roll out of the car when I corner. I was originally thinking just get the 22mm, but the 25 is hollow and comes with the grease fittings. Knowing I will keep the car for 4-5 years, seems like the grease fittings would be nice, but just how much do the bars squeak?

Is there a noticeable difference in how the 2 bars perform? I don't plan on racing the car, just want it to be more fun on twisty roads / off ramps. 50/50 chance I will ever lower the car, since I end up on dirt / gravel roads too often to go much lower.

I have read every post about the sway bars on this forum, but didn't find a good comparison yet.

Thanks!

 

I can't comment on the sway bar, but I like your blacked out grill surround. Did you paint it, vinyl wrap, did you remove the original chrome surround?... details please.

 

Thanks! So obviously i hate chrome
First round I Plasti Dip sprayed all the chrome, but it wasn't holding up on the high contact spots like the door handles, and wasn't as shiny as I wanted. So I have re-done all of it in gloss black 3m vinyl and it looks much better. The picture is with plastic dip, and the vinyl looks even better now.

 

I went with the 22mm. I also installed the NM brackets with grease fittings. The cost is essentially the same as the 25mm that already has the fittings. You have options either way you go. You'll be happy either way IMO.

Sounds good. Did you do the upgraded end links?

Are you happy with how the car performs with the 22mm? Did it stop the roll? Last question, what setting did you end up on?

Thanks!
