Thanks for the interest guys. I am still waiting to hear back from Scott on the sway bar details. On the Brackets & Bushings GB, they are a pair so if you only need one of them you will have to buy that separately.

Darn, if this group buy was going on last month I would have signed up but I already picked up a used Dinan sway bar. Right now I'm contemplating whether I should get this new bar+bracket or keep my used one with OEM brackets and bushings. I think I'll just get the BP brackets and bushings.

I already have the brackets (had to change out my old broken originals) but the Powerflex bushings would be good to have as well so let me know if I can order them seperate from the brackets.....Thanks

Still waiting on pricing/availability on the sway bars. Already having 8 buyers might help speed up the process so hopefully we can get everything in time to put under the tree

Toheynow and lanza360 just want the bushings which we don't have any discount on. They are $51 at Bimmerzone Powerflex BMW 5 Series E39 Rear Sway Bar Bushing : Bimmerzone.com. I will ask if they can do free shipping for anyone who just wants the bushings.

If anyone was wondering about the size of the PF bushing, the largest one is 16.5mm and that's the one you want. The stock rear sway bar is 16.5mm thick while the Dinan is 17mm.

I just realized that I have the Dinan bushings. Is there any way I can buy only the BP brackets? How long do these bushings usually last for? Should I replace the bushings as well?

You can buy the BeastPower brackets from Bimmerzone or even BeastPower directly.

I don't know much about the Dinan bushings. The thing about the Powerflex bushings is that they are polyurethane and not rubber. I'm not going to say one is better because some people take the whole polyurethane bushing thing waaay too seriously and I don't want to have a debate on it here. My plan is to have the Dinan bushing and the Powerflex, try both and pick whichever one I like most to stay on the car. This choice will cost me $30 because of the GB discount. I can always re-use the unwanted bushings for something else around the car/garage/house.
