I searched, but didn't really find an answer specific to my question.

Looking to pickup some sway bars for my 332is and am debating between these two kits:

UUC Swaybarbarian (http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=uuc&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=154079616&Count2=71220040&ProductID=52&Target=products.asp)

TMS (http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=TMSSWAY)

Both are relatively inexpensive, and certainly suitable for my needs (aggressive DD)

All I have now is the Dinan stage 1 kit, which I believe is just Konis with Eibach Pros. As the car is, it handles great for a daily driver, but there is definitely room for improvement in the body roll department.

The TMS are a bit more expensive and a little thicker. Yea its only 50 bucks, but when your a penny pincher college student, 50 bucks = 7 or 8 meals.

Wondering what you guys thought about the difference between the two, and which is better for my application, or if I would even know the difference.


TIA

I put the UUC swaybars in as part of my suspension refresh on my 98 328I with 170K on it. Huge difference over worn out stock.

I've got UUC on my car and I can say they make a pretty good difference. I'd say them but I can't say anything about the other company. I'm sure they're all good. Fitment of the UUC bars are perfect.

there is no difference in fitment they're both identical designs except the thicknesses, i retract my previous statement on choosing the uuc i would go with the turner since its a much bigger bar for the front. Using a bigger bar in the front on an e36 will balance the car out so much better than a smaller bar.


On a side note the tms is 30mm and therefor you have a bit better tuning capability
