Folks - those of you that have abandoned the M3 style sway bar links (attached to the shock) in favor of the 328 mounts (attached to the control arm)...
...what end links are you using?
Surely not stock?
Thanks in advance,

I bought the AKG solid/spherical endlinks.
Curious, why would one spring for the 328i style over M? I have a 328i that i am going to be running endlinks to attach the sway to my new shock body, like the M.
Just testing. I (personally) don't like how the end links rotate with the M3 shock mounts. Yes I know it's a proven setup.
If you want the same bar stiffness, you'll need a much stiffer bar mounted to the control arms, than the shock mounts. A good example is the H&R bar for the M3 (PN 70910) is softer than the 328 bar (PN 70824). The 328 bar is shorter (and you can see it in the height of the major bend in front of the steering rack.
You can find multiple threads on the subject. Not saying one is better, I just am stockpiling a bunch of bars and mounts to try.

I run both setups on my non-m with tck da. I've had no problem with the same stock ones on a dedicated track car run on r comps for years. I think I bought meyles, could double check if needed.
I use Bimmerworld endlinks on my 328i with a Hotchkis front bar.
I just bought some heim joints at the needed lengths from online, and made my own.
Back into a BMW, this time a track rat....and it won't be BMW powered and no, not a V8 either!
Couldn't help myself, boosted e36 m52 street car in progress also!
