OVERVIEW
H&R's Sport Sway Bar Kit for the F10 5-Series pairs a larger front bar with a larger rear bar than the factory setup, increasing torsional stiffness at both ends of the car to reduce body roll under cornering load. A stiffer anti-roll bar keeps more of the tire's contact patch on the road through a corner, sharpening turn-in and giving the chassis a flatter, more controlled feel without altering ride height.
The kit is a direct bolt-on using the factory mounting locations and reuses the factory end links, and both bars are multi-hole adjustable so the front-to-rear roll-stiffness balance can be tuned to the driver's preference.
