Got the H&R sways fitted. The labor was about $400, not cheap. That included a wheel alignment and GST. The difference is amazing tho. The whole car is really tied down now. Turn in responsiveness and feedback has increased substantially. Understeer virtually non-existent only when you deliberately induce it, eg step on the gas hard before the apex of a really tight turn. It also feels smoother and more expensive to drive now. This is a no brainer. I would describe the drive before the sways as sloppy compared to this. I would go as far as to say that doing the coilovers alone is a waste of time as would be a rear only sway.
What setting do you have your swaybars on? Was thinking of having them installed both at soft setting and drive around a bit then try out having hard set in the back.
And do you need to do a wheel alignment if you change the stiffness setting each time in the rears???
wow $400 for fittment of Sways (not sure what a wheel alignment is worth by itself..) who did the install?
My old (bmw approved) mechanic took under 10-15 minutes to remove and install my rear sway bar with new mounts with a little clean inbetween - He is located in Brunswick and i would assume do it under $200 if anyone wants his details PM me
I have a good haldex install guide i can email people if they are interested, will be doing it myself with the same mate as above
German Auto in Melrose Park (Adelaide). I get the impression they don't really want to do performance stuff as they always seem to charge like wounded bulls. I don't know where else to go and they are quite thorough.

Sway bars are Front = Soft, Rear = Hard. These settings were recommended by WhiteJames (as were the sways). This setup seems perfect to me.
Not sure about the wheel alignment with the rears. I wouldn't have thought so.
On a different note. Best performance gain to a R32 is getting weight off the fatty!
Combined with some well setup suspention mods you could have quite a fun car
Power mods are pretty much minimal, If you want to get some more power out of your R32, Either look into Cams or F/I...

Nah, simple and affordable bolt ons for me I'm afraid.

Are you talking from experience, if so can you elaborate further...?
