That's messed up man, kind of disturbing
I like that!
You're right, it is too close to our color.

Black gets my #1 vote but I would be ok with Silver as well.
I would honestly pay extra for an OE+ looking set. Not really into the loud colors on my suspension parts.
Black bushings too please!! Worse comes to worse I can powder-coat the bars but a colored bushing and I’m screwed lol
What this man said. OE+ for the win.

Definitely something from the neon color family. There’s some pretty cool variations that’ll look sweet with the arm/coilovers you already offer. Can’t wait for these! Was planning on the Eibachs but will need to wait now. ETA?

Apologies for the spam here. Clearly new. But wanted to throw a vote out there for something from the neon color family. There’s some pretty cool variations that’ll look sweet with the arm/coilovers you already offer. Can’t wait for these! Was planning on the Eibachs but will need to wait now. ETA?

Yup I am aware of SPL. Thanks for the tip.
However I am much more into the MPP ethos of lower NVH and longer lasting suspension components with their sealed bearings. This will be a primarily street driven car from past experiences tuning a few bimmers. I want sealed bearings for the street. My E46 M3 comes with lots of them already upgraded from the factory(m-division) that way over the regular 3 series components.
Don’t mind paying a little extra for what I want. I know I am probably in the minority wanting everything to look discrete. Already planning on re-anodizing their other parts. Had to throw in my 2 cents and vote!
The sway bars are clearly visible front and rear especially with open spoke wheels. The bars clearly add visual presence so it would be nice to have them compliment other components.
I currently have the Eibach's installed and like them red as they match the calipers on the performance model. That said, maybe you could do silver on the non-performance models and red for performance. I think even with the MPP Rotors not being red works and I get a ton of compliments on them.
Unfortunately I had to remove the Eibach end links as they were making so much chatter noise during turns and bumps at slow speeds. I do not recommend these for daily vehicles. Maybe I got a bad set but the installer does not believe so.
Once MPP releases their Sway Bar Kit I'll be thinking about swapping the Eibach for these.

Your fitment is perfection! What springs/coilovers are you using... assuming rims are 20x10.5

Hey just wondering what your settings are for the front/rear on your Eibach sways? Did you notice a big difference in handling?
I have the KW V3 coilovers on full soft compression. They are still a bit firm and I’m thinking of switching over to the MPP version as I don’t track the vehicle.
wheels are 20 x 9.5 +35 front and rear on MPS 4s Tesla version. These tires have a broad shoulder so I don’t recommend an aggressive offset if you want a flush set up.
I did notice a difference with the sway bar installed. I have them both on full soft and the vehicle is more stable at high speeds also.
The front sway bar and bushing setup is very thick and doesn’t allow for much movement once the factory Tesla brackets are fitted compared to the rears.
I do not recommend their adjustable end links due to the crazy heim joint noise. I had very little load with the factory links and can’t tell a difference so save yourself $240 on the links unless you want to corner balance. My installer has used Whitelines with great success and the noise is minimal to none in there limited installs on the model 3.
