Hmm, I don't quite agree with you Josh. One of the best handling cars I ever drove was a 79 320i. It had very soft springs, but really good swaybars. Very comfortable ride, but no body roll. I don't think he'd be screwing up too badly by looking at swaybars right now.

The Racing Beat swaybar will definitely take out the body roll, the only problem is the weight and lack of adjustability. You'll probably want adjustable end links in order to relieve any preload.

I replaced my RB swaybar with one from Respeed last Spring. Better handling, and a whole lot lighter due to the fact that it is a hollow bar. It also comes with top quality adjustable end links. It is more expensive, but if you can afford the difference then that is the way to go in my opinion. www.re-speed.com

I also like to use Respeed whenever possible due to their outstanding customer support. Billy will be happy to advise you on your setup. He helped me every step of the way, and I am very happy with my setup. I also like the fact that he is very active in the forums, which RB and GC are not.
