Question Rear Sway Bar Upgrade During Differential Mount Replacement?

I have a pre-LCI F82 base M4, and I’m planning to upgrade my differential mount to the Turner dual mount in the next few months at my local independent shop. Since the rear sway bar is notoriously difficult to access, would this be a good opportunity to upgrade it while the differential mount is out, to avoid extra labor costs?

Is it recommended to upgrade base to ZCP rear sway bar on base dampers?

Unless you’re a track star stick with stock. Its matched to the suspension.

If you are a track star then you already know you need a full suspension replacement…shocks/springs, sways, rods, adjustable links, and a balance job.

As noted above. If you want to install coilovers at some point the gtmore swaybar will give you more mounting options with more clearance to the shock body.

+1 When I had my diff bracket/bushings installed I went with the GT more for this exact reason.
