pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 running one is not esential, us e30 series guys arnt alloud to run one and our cars go round ok. what exactly do you mean when you say you have a "custom" rear end? if it is just a 325i rear end there should be no contact issues.

waddic 1 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 does it make much of difffrence to the cars handling or anything? i have put a skyline rear diff and axels in to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 it does make a difference, how much you feel it will depend on how hard you are driving it, and wether its a good or bad difference will depend on your shock/spring setup and how you preffer the car to feel. No rear swaybar will make the rear feel slightly softer as it will roll a little more through corners, however this also reduces rear "twitchyness" mid corner and makes it much more progressive when oversteering, if thats your thing.

waddic 1 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 hmmm might try make something up to make it fit. can i cut and weld it and do that sort of stuff or is it made the way it is for a reason and will make the car worse than if i just took it out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 im pretty sure cutting and welding wont work as i believe its made of spring steel, (i could be wrong about that though.) Just take it out and try it. See how you think it handles and if you think it needs something made up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunter 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 I'd say its some kind of spring steel as well but don't quote me on that. Also check the cert website because I read a post on another forum last week where a guy got pink stickered simply for having a larger sway bar in the original mounts so cutting and welding could cause you some problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
