Roadsport Suspension Packages, E24 with Load Leveling

We offer the option of either retaining or deleting the automatic load leveling suspension on the 635.  The suspension package which allows the continued use of the load leveling system includes 25mm adjustable front sway bar, 19mm adjustable rear sway bar, a set of 4 special lowering springs and a load leveling adapter kit for the new rear sway bar.

Roadsport Suspension, Retain Load Leveling P/N 3110635H1

If you choose to remove the somewhat troublesome/expensive to repair load leveling system, our Roadsport kit includes an elimination kit, progressive rate springs, 22mm front adjustable, 16mm rear adjustable sway bars, and  Bilstein Sport valved struts and shocks.  The pump, resevoir, fluid lines and other components pertaining to the load leveling can also be removed after installation of this kit saving further weight.

Competition Adjustable Anti-Sway Bar End Links

Allows for custom tuning of front and rear anti-sway bar pre-load to suit specific track layouts. Light weight aluminum threaded centers connect right and left hand threaded joints for quick adjustments. Front links may be used singly or in pairs.

Heavy-Duty Thrust Rod Bushings

The E28 chassis and front end shimmy go hand in hand, especially with the addition of larger wheel and tire packages. This shimmy mimics warped rotors, and is most noticeable under light braking from highway speeds. The most common cause we see in our shop are the weak factory thrust rod bushings. These bushings are mounted at the rear of the strut rod, a diagonal link which helps prevent fore and aft wheel movement. Our hard rubber bushings address this problem as well as improving steering feel and "turn in". Sold in pairs.

Remember to check the condition of the entire front suspension as well as wheel balance/tire roundness and rotor run out/thickness when trying to diagnose a shimmy.

Aluminum Front Lower Control Arms

Stronger than the original cast steel arms and about half the weight. Reduction in unsprung weight improves handling.
