Try calling TCKline. I talked to TC about a month ago. He said he was happy with his design, so they should be out any time now.

if the e92 M3 is similar to my e90 sway bar install it looks a little frigthening looking at the stuff that needs to be removed to include the exhaust etc.
One tuner shop gave me a 4 hr labor cost for my e90 325i. but with some local gas station mechanic ingenuity he was able to do it in 2 hrs. If the M3 is similar in desggn, this job most likely involves dropping the subframe. but the trick to all this was dropping the frame by loosening 4 long frame attachment bolts. Keeping it still connected to the car upper body frame is the key and just loosening the bolts out at about 3 inches. Eniough to get some wiggle roon to maneuver the sway bar out. BUT STILL ATTACHED TO THE CAR. Once about three inches in dropped, you can then remove the rear wheels and slighty get the rotors out of the way. So you can feed the sway bar out and in from the wheel wells. (after of crse loosening the mount clamps. Thats how it was done on my e90. but for safety, the car has to be jacked up on the lift using the 4 point frame method, leaving the rear wheel axle hanging BUT supported by another aligator jack at the rear differential case unit.

My M3 came with sway/roll bars as standard equipment.
I'm curious why folks think the roll bars need to be stiffer?

I agree, the car is quite flat in corners, I love the suspension as it came from the factory. Supple enough for long trips yet stiff enough for weekend track work.

yah it's one of the best handling cars, but there's plenty of room for improvement.... i only realized that after seeing the video of Enzo and those super cars on the track where the M3 was tailing them as a safety car. it just looked so wobbly and soft compared to those

Well, if i was cruising in the neighborhood i prob wouldn't. but on the track even with the springs, it could use less roll.
