E46 M3 Ground Control Sway Bars...
Ground Control Sway Bars is part of my M3 motor project, but I figured some of the M3 guys would wanna see the kit and how it compares with other sways...
Here's what you get for $700...I was hoping for a slightly better packaged product...nice of them to not include a instruction manual...i wouldn't have read it anyway...but lets not judge a product by its box...  Eibach spring boxes for protection...hmmm...  Here's the front and rears...they com pre assembled...front bar is gold and red...rear bar is black...  Nice little logo on the rear sway...  Rear end link...  Rear mounting bracket...  Front end link...from what I can tell the mount can't be moved...its stuck in that spot...  |

On to the install...removing the old rear bar...
 Removing the stock end links...  Released...  Side by side comparison...    GC's go in...  Pretty close clearance to the arms...pretty perfectly cut...  Connected...  Bolt in the top...  |

Front bar...
 I have an AA charger so there is an extra pipe that comes really close to the bracket...  But amazingly...it fits...    Comes within 2mm of the pipe...  |

Looks good...
  Upper end link...   tighten the lower one...  Reinstalled AA elbow...  GC and Praxis play together...  All done...=)   The bars are very solid...good construction...light...and strong...I really don't like gold and red...but it actually looks alright in person...i really wish they spent just a tiny bit of the $700 on better packaging...

very good choice, I've heard nothing but good things about their sways.
I do wish it was a little cheaper though. I didn't have shipping problems with them...they packaged my coils pretty well...a crapload of dubble bubble wax paper  . |

it's so funny that once you're done, you are going to walk stock and some modded m3's on the street and possibly the track
 obviously not taking away from an e46 m3, being that I'm always comparing everything to it.
