    sways, strut bars, or x-brace?

    What would reduce body roll the most. Don't know if I should buy Sway bars, strut bars, or an X-brace. I was thinking that the sway bars would help the most but i wanted to get some more opinions.

    Thanks

      I would get an x-brace first. Best bang for your buck.

          TO reduce body roll most, as you asked, the best bet would be the swaybars.



          I personally went with the x-brace, then coilovers (definitely the most noticeable suspension mod), and next will go with sways. I dont have any plans for a strut bar...I just dont think I would notice it.

            Of the three mentioned, only the sway bar reduces body roll. I'd opt for springs/shocks if you want a taughter ride (Assuming you have stock suspension). The X brace makes sense in terms of chassis strengthening and is reasonably priced. I can't say I noticed the car drove any different after I put mine on. Strut bar on a poorly engineered car works well. On the E36...supposedly a Bling item.

              pretty much, especially if it's hinged. the only strut bars worth mentioning are the $400 & up unhinged ones. even after you do that, the $150 x-brace will still be the better buy

                Thanks for all the replies guys. Sorry I forgot to metion I have the koni sport kit that helped to reduce alot of the body roll but it just seems like there is still to much. When I adjusted my shocks but it looks weird like the back is to low. So it looks like it will be the x-brace for me and if that doesn't help guess I will be saving up for some sways.

                by the way what sways would you guys reccomend I have heared that eibachs are good what do ya think. Thanks

                    Are you saying you have new shock and struts but not springs? If that is the case you should look into getting aftermarket springs to further reduce the body roll you are experiencing.

                    Eibachs would be a good route to take for sways.

                        I have Eibach coil overs and I do not notice much, if any, body roll with stock sways. I am sure they would help but i am gonna wait til it is a track car b4 I worry about it. I do not have an x-brace so I can feel the body try to twist. It is near the top of my list of things to do after I sell my bike and free up some grip.
