If you have been following some of the threads, you might have noticed I am installing front and rear sway bars. I went to do the rear this morning and what do i see?? The Drivers Side Rear Sway Bar Bracket is hanging from it's mount! It is the origional Rear Sway Bar and Bushings... IT is sheared/cracked right where it forms an," L" on the side the screw is located...It is a good thing I am going to replace the Sway bar, because Hadn't I did them ora shop, i would have never known...

Well, My car is up on Jack Stands and I need to figure out what I can do. I ordered some from BeastPower on the notion that others have had theirs broken, but I think they are still in route??

Hey Ocean,

There you have it Brother. First hand. They don't break because they were designed as a stress point.

They break becasue they are a POS not upto the job.

BMW is a business. Bean counters get involved and make decisesions (consession decisions) and send out misinformation to cover up Tight Wad decisions.

FACT, M5's have a weak ***** clutch and Weak ***** sway bar brakets.

You can talk about it until you are blue in the face, you can keep changing them for Free stock ones, and change your driving style to accomodate design faults, OR you can rectify the situation, and drive it like it should been able to be driven.

Why should I alter my driving style because of a weakA$$ component?

Not for me. I'll pass over the coin, and continue to Kick ***** from all chalengers, because my Beast won't fail.

If that causes something else to fail, then I will strengthen it on my coin also, but I am not an alarmist and nothing else has failed to date.

Believe me, if something was going to fail, it would have started to show signs by now.

Rant Over.

Congrats on your Beastpower Brackets. How do you get colour in your sig.

I think Atomic 80 chewed my *** one time because he said other members were complaining that my siggy was too Big and it looked like a brothel or something.

I think it's fun to make a statement once in awhile, even if a few people get pissed off. I can hear it coming, One of the moderators is going to Pm me.... lol I always try to get away with a little then when they ask i change it...

NEway which format or font or colors you like better?
