I just ordered an SLR ultra kit for my e46. 330. I'm super confused on sway bar options. Can I continue running my stock bar and adjustable end links that mount to the strut? Or do I need to run a different bar that mounts to the control arm? I searched for a while but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Thanks.
You can not run the stock style end links, you need the kind that attach to the control arm. On my car, there was no way the stock sway bar was fitting the SLR arms even with bimmerworld adjustable end links. I ran without one for a season but ended up getting a whiteline and modifying it to work.
I tried an E36 bar and the ends were too short to reach back to the control arms if that makes sense. My E46 bar was long enough, but had a weird twist at the ends that wouldn't let the end links go straight down to the control arm. The whiteline bar is the length of the e46 bar but without the twists. I still had to drill a new hole in each side to line up with the slr tabs though.
really? weird Sean at SLR recommends using their sway bar links with a non-M E36 bar for the E46 chassis cars
here is some spy shots of chelsea's E46.

That's a Whiteline bar on Chelsea's car.

weird, those arms also have a slightly different sway bar mount than the ones on the ultra arms.
