I'll be getting one in January or February. It'll be my first upgrade to the suspension.

I hope everyone is having a safe happy holiday season.

Just received mine a few days ago... and I must say, this is a mighty good sway bar. I highly recommend it.

Any additional driving impressions besides "highly recommended"?
What setting did you use on the bar?
Install them yourself? If so how easy of a job?
Any other mods on your 5? Tires, shocks, springs?

The car corners a lot harder. It helps give the car a bit more over-steer letting you point the car in that direction a lot better. Body roll has been reduced significantly. Before the sway bar install, coming out of a hard corner, the car is leaned to one side; straightening out gives a unsettling feel. With the sway bar, that unsettled feel is eliminated. Ride quality is a bit stiffer, but isn't really significant.

I used the middle setting.

Installation is a breeze. Follow the instructions on the website and it should get your through. It's an easy job. However, I did run into a small snag. Nothing major. I just had to remove one of the endlinks completely to get the OE bar off and the new one in. The endlink doesn't flex far enough to clear the bolt hole.

Mods on my 5: H&R springs, Koni sport shocks, snow tires at the moment. lol

That is exactly what I'm looking for in my 2009 5.
Looks like I will be getting this soon along with a set of Koni FSD.
Still on the fence about springs.
No issues with the H&Rs with a full load? (six people)

As long as you get the springs for the 5 and not the 3. The spring rate is a bit stiffer. At full load the rear still drops a bit, not nearly as much as the stock springs.

You could always get yourself some airbag helper springs for the rear...(wink).
Nice install, though I don't want to give my wife any reason to take corners harder than she already does.

Thanks for the write up.
I have my order placed.
