Is it really that big of a difference with one installed? I've got an 03 model so not sure if that matters. I wouldn't mind driving an S with it installed to see for myself. Taaxed?

Later models with revised suspension addressed some for the issues the Whiteline addresses but did it with a softer rear bar rather than stiffer front.

I got mine for $195, But If you look around on Ozhonda you might find it a bit cheaper then that

Taaxed its piss easy man, you may break a few of the plastic clips that hold the undercowl on so becareful when removing them.

I noticed the difference, you can kinda throw it into corners more, sits noticeable.

Yeh, the plastic clips are brittle and fragile. Just take your time using a flathead screwdriver to pry them out, and you should be right.

hey Taaxed , you already got the Muz Xbrace , this will further enhance the front and make it even stiffer ? giving sharper turn ins ?

i'm hoping it will do more than the x-brace haha, as far as i can see the x-brace added some stiffness to the front but whether or not i wanted that is still undecided! I'm really looking to add bit by bit to get my car to feel more stable through corners...Ideally I'd like to be able to go as hard as i can in my mates 330ci which has bilstein pss9s

I can't imagine how you would do it without the front wheels off. Need access to get to the ends of the bar.
I did it without the front wheels off, had front wheels on a ramp and got under her.
real easy install!

I've had both X-brace and Whiteline Front Sway Bars installed.

The sway bar has a much, much more noticeable change in comparison to the x-brace.

makes the car more chuckable, sits flat around corners and you can carry more speed into corners with confidence.

Dooooo IT....!
