OVERVIEW
Almost all street cars leave the factory with anti-roll bars, but they are tuned soft for maximum comfort and to add understeer. An anti-roll bar reduces body roll, and every Dinan bar is built and tuned for a specific BMW chassis. Keeping the car flatter than stock — while still allowing just enough roll — reduces understeer and improves mechanical grip, giving the driver a far more planted, confident feeling in every corner.
This 15.8mm rear anti-roll bar is 118% stiffer than the stock 13mm rear bar and may be added to the Dinan Stage 1 Suspension System for owners building a high-performance suspension in stages. Because stock rear bar diameters vary by model, the increase in stiffness varies with the car it is fitted to — see the breakdown in SPECS below.
