From years of racing the E36 in World Challenge, Turner Motorsport had discovered the E36 favors a larger front bar without overdoing the size of the rear. Thanks to Turner this is the best combination we could find to reduce body roll while making handling as neutral as possible. These are the latest generation of Turner's popular E36 sway bars, now with CNC machined ends, two adjustment positions on each bar, re-contoured bends for better clearance, and one of the largest front solid sway bars available (30mm). They couldn't find a large front sway bar that we liked so they made their own - perfect for taming that understeer!
These bars fit in the stock locations using the original brackets and links. Designed to use either the non-M or M3 front sway bar links. Adjustable links are not required but recommended if the car is lowered or if you have coilovers. The rear hardware has been upgraded to a M10 sized bolt and it can be a little tricky to install on the factory end link. To avoid pre-loading the bar, it is best to leave one side undone until the car is lowered to the ground. Never connect both links to the same bar with the car off the ground.
What else do I need?
For many enthusiasts, these bars are a complete package, requiring no additional components. For those looking to get the most out of their new sway bars, adjustable sway bar end links are an important upgrade. Adjustable sway bar links ensure that there is no pre-load on the bar and that the bar has the correct clearance to other suspension components. Preload is when the bar is slightly stressed when it's on the car. If you have to force the links to fit the bar because it has tension then you have pre-load. Adjustable links fix all of that because you can then shorten or lengthen the link to match the installation of the bar. If you have coilovers or the car is very low, you should definitely have the adjustable links because these conditions may contribute to the pre-load situation.
