Installing M coupe Sway mounts(lower) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59...M/DSCF0493.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59...M/DSCF0495.jpg M Coupe vs Ti mounts lower. As you can see the M is wider, thicker and bigger than the stock Ti mount...size is good, but in tight areas it can also be a hinderance.but it's working with just a few minor changes. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59...M/DSCF0498.jpg installed on Ti Arm. Well test fitted on the arm in this pic. To install Rasp out the TA hole with a 3/8" rasp(Need to make sure that's the one i used) you also need a OE Spacer-washer to snug fit the OE Sway link(but should clear the bigger Black Urethane Links no problem) Installing is a bit of a bugger with the brakeline there, you need to raise the mount up to get the 16mm nut under the arm and tighten it. Working on a easier way to do it than the way I came up with. |
I just bought the adjustable/greasable end links. Will they fit in the m-coupe bracket? If so, all I need a is an adjustable rear sway bar. |
how much/where did you get the links? |
btw, running the Club Sport bar temp..til I get some powerflex bushings and prob a M coupe bar and new links.(Either OEs or the blacks depending on the flo' of dough for car mods at the time of purchase) |
I bought them from UUC for $100.00. Quote:

Def, post a review when you get them. |
I already have them. They look just like the picture. I can't use them till I find an adjustable rear sway bar. Quote:

Is this the correct rear bar for our cars? I'm referring to the M-coupe one. Why do they list both an M-coupe and a Roadster rear bar, what's the difference? http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...ODUCT_ID=71754 I forget, how much thicker is that bar than the M-tech rear bar? Quote:

3mm.... 16 vs 19 |
not sure if there is a differance between the Z3M bars. |
1 Attachment(s) Just ordered the H & R m-coupe rear sway bar. From what I read, I also need part # 3 & 6 in the picture, to use the thicker bushings and my new adjustable end links. Quote:

Subscribing to this thread. Keep us updated on how the install goes. |
here is my list of what I used. # 7, # 8, cause the bolt is longer than the Ti's(and might as well get a new nut) #6 M Coupe/Z3M Lower Sway Bracket. # 4, which is a 16mm nut vs the Ti's 13mm nut(Ti's will not work with the Z3M Bracket) The Upper 4 is still the OE Ti since you use the 318ti's stud attached to the frame, so it's still a 13mm nut..but I replaced it as well. I also picked up new #3(M Coupe Brackets, Upper), but they are still in bags since I am still using a 16mm rear sway bar. |
Just ordered all the misc parts from Circle BMW Quote:

The M coupe bar is 19mm vs the M roadster bar which is 18mm. I have the coupe bar in my ti and it made a noticeable difference in the handling of the car. A relatively cheap and must have upgrade for anyone upgrading a ti's suspension. All I changed were the brackets, bushings and bar. All stock M coupe pieces. You could go with urethane but I don't feel it could be a huge improvement. |
