SOME EXPERT HELP PLEASE

question i know most cars don't require both front and back sway bars for a 94 cabrio 325i which ones does anyone recommend getting and what size would create a big difference in handling..?

I assume you mean strut braces? Cause you really want both your front and rear sway bars or you'll have really really bad handling.

I think people generally put a front strut brace on first, and im not sure size matters, just needs to be stiff i guess.

The guys who track their cars will know better.

if you do mean Sway bars but but you mean "dont require UPGRADED sway bars" then id recommend getting the Eibach anti roll bar kit, i fitted one to my car and it feels much better!

Both Dinian and Turner motorsport make very high quality front and rear strut braces, but i really don't think you'd notice a whole lot of difference in just everyday driving. but i'd definitely get them if i want a more street/track car

Thats what she said.

But just get a front strut brace. Huge improvement.
