325es Strut/stress bar

I'm looking to spend somewhere around 200 dollars on a strut/stress bar as i've heard it improves handling and reduces body roll.

My car is a 1986 325es. I've searched the forum and can't find anything concerning this part for my car. Was wondering if any other es owners have bought one before or if anyone can point me towards a good deal.

Thanks,

Tim

try bavarian autosport, bavauto.com, or BMPdesign. bmpd.com, they both have online catalogs and catalogs that you can request.

The other guy that already replied has a good idea if you want to spend more for a lesser quality bar. Bavarian Auto, and BMP Design make great products, but I prefer the Sparco bars as they are a solid bar and mount directly to the strut towers without the design like the eibach, bavauto have. BMP has a billet style that does mount solid to the Strut mounts in one piece also but think they run around $225.00 or so. The Sparco bars will fit Front and rear, or a company called Ireland Engineering better known as www.2002ad.com is a great company for bars as they are like the sparco bars and can both be had for around $250.00 total for front and rear.

I have a 1986 BMW 325es 5-speed currently as well, but looking for a later model 325ix or early e36 325is. Let me know if you need any help!

Cheers

Jared
