"I received my UUC SwayBarbarians
just a couple of days ago, and installed them. Out of the box, the
bars look beautiful. They have a nice dull silver finish (zinc)
and were obviously manufactured with great attention to detail.
The set also includes adjustable rear sway bar links to replace the
stockers (non-adjustable). The adjustable rear links are nothing
short of awesome, in the usual UUC fashion. They are made from
Aurora spherical bearings, 12.9 hardware, and stainless steel washers.
To construct these end links, from the same parts, would cost upwards of
$50. But you get them with the kit. Very nice.
The front bar went on without any hitches.
The rear bar went on smoothly, after I figured out how to detach the
stock end links (I don't like to read directions). They bolted up
with no problem. To start with, I set the adjustable end links to
the same length as the stockers.
The result.
He...He....
Definitely less understeer. I suspect that I'll have to back them
off a bit when I put 245s on the front.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommended."

"Just got UUC swaybars for my E46
328i.
After driving with them, the car corners much flatter. It feels much
tighter than stock. Handling is more neutral. In most of my favorite
highway ramps, I am able to corner a higher speed and without a
lot of the understeer that was present before the upgrade. (For those of
you in the NYC area, the 87N to Parkway South exit was faster (more fun)
than ever.) This is one fantastic upgrade.
The bars are 4130 chrome moly (other bars are mild steel) and come with
this very trick zinc coating (silver in color) and will never chip. They
came with red polyurethane bushings and adjustable links.
The excitement of having this upgrade is like having a new car again. I
can't wait to get back into it to drive it."
