Was referring to the M sway bar. If you take a look at the normal e36 front sway bar, you can actually mount it on the strut as well. On stock standard cars, its mounted on the control arm (with stabilizer link listed as item 7 below), all you need is to change the stabilizer link to the longer one (like those used in the E34, item 6 on the diagram below). This I have done, and I didnt feel much difference (there is a lot of opinion from the internet experts nowadays) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/m/o/6.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   So the question remains, why the M strut is actually thinner than stock? On the e46, the front Mtech sway bar is also thinner than stock (with exact mounting locations to stock sway bar as well).  I think you should try to understand the working principles of the ARBs in relation to traction, suspension travel, droop distance and cornering forces before you decide on your course of action. But since you don't track much if any at all, a set of Eibach springs will fit into you requirement nicely. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Cheers</blockquote>
