    Convertible OEM sway bar "upgrade"

    I've googled quite a bit and found LOTs of info on coupes and sedans about OEM sway bar upgrades...but not a lot on verts!!

    My 02 325CIC has stock 23mm front and 18mm rear sways.

    Junkyard scored a 330I 23.5mm front sway bar and a 330CIC 20mm rear sway bar...

    Would this combo work better than the oem 24mm/20mm ZHP convertible combo???

    Please chime in!

    "Better" is a relative term. Basic facts are the bigger the swaybar, the less body roll you get in a corner with minimal impact on ride quality. That said, a 24mm bar will reduce body roll more than a 23.5mm bar. Is it a difference you will notice? Probably not. Are the swaybars you junkyard scored bigger than the ones currently on the car? If yes, then it will corner flatter.
