Just doing my civic duty to the SE30 community. I found this thread on BF.com where an H&R dealer is selling the spec race springs for our car at $305 shipped. He claims to have them in stock too. Here is the link. Check out post #43 in the thread.

NICE! Its about time for some competative pricing on the springs.
Now if there could just be a price war o sways. . . .

JP,
If you are interested in the Suspension Techniques sway bar kit I found a good deal at Summit racing. They have it for $259 shipped which is the best price that I found when I was shopping for parts.

JP,
I’m obviously no expert driver, but when I drove two E30’s (an M3 and a 325is) with the IE sways, I felt the rear was too hard. Granted, I don’t know if they had the bar set to full hard, but both of those cars were very tail-happy. I was really happy with my ST set-up at VIR. The price made me happy, too; I recall paying about $300 for the front and rear, but the price Ken reports is even better.

The part number is the same as what Turner and Flying Brick sell so I would be pretty certain that it will fit your car. Although I do not have this kit on my car, I went with the Ireland kit.

Even when the ST bars come, the front bar instruction page lists the applications and the 325i/s is among them. The rear, however, only says it’s for the cabrio. It "fit" on my car, too, though. I did have to man-handle it a bit because the bends in the rear bar seem to be a little too narrow, so getting the bushings in place required a little grinding to make the bracekt holes bigger, a round-shaft screw driver stuck through all the holes to achieve proper alignment, and then a carpenter’s wood clamp to hold things in place while I installed the bolt.
