Front Sway Option for M

3002 tii · 08-01-2022, 07:43 PM

Seems like h&r is out of stock everywhere. Does anyone know if an e46 m3 fsb fits?

It does. I went with E46 M3 CSL

E46 end links may be too long.
When I installed my GC bar years ago, the end links were way too long. They had sent E46 end links by mistake.

Nice to know… but just looked up the price of that lol. Maybe waiting isn’t such a bad thing after all.

It was on sale at FCP not long ago, paid 211.

Edit: still is. I did not feel it was expensive.

I have ground control front and rear and was lucky to get the package just after covid hit as they had supply problems getting the steel to make them. You can't go wrong with ground control, they will walk you through the process to get the ones you need and how to adjust them perfectly once you have them on the car.......

Interesting I didn’t realize there was an OEM option. The genuine OE price was north of $400. Did this bolt up or did it require say new endlinks, brackets, etc?

the only thing needed are brackets and bushings, the brackets are available and cheap, bushings, I had to use powerflex as the OE items for the CSL are not available in North America. End links bolt right on

Thanks. I wouldve thought brackets could be reused and just need the thicker bushings.

That part number 31352282655 is the same for the Z4M and the e46 M3 09/2002 to 12/2003 sway bar according to realoem.

maupineda · 08-06-2022, 08:42 PM

Z4M uses the 27mm the M3 Cabrio used. Coupe I thinks is a bit smaller.

Our car uses the rear CSL item already

BookerM3 · 08-09-2022, 07:08 AM

Maybe look at the Hotchkis E46 M3 Option, I believe they are available and shipping.
