Check it out! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7970145531&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1)

Just got these... hope to install them this summer... If I can manage to do it myself I'll make a writeup with pics.

Ok it comes with the bushings... someone on another thread said I need links to make it work on the ti... can anyone link me to these links (haha), or give me a part number or something? Anything else I need?

Also, think it's a good price for the stuff I got?

Well...

The rear bar won't fit and the front one won't work unless you install M3/MZ3 struts or weld on brackets for the sway bar links.

Rear bar from an E36 with trailing arm suspension wont work on the ti/e30 semi-trailing arm set up... sorry. As for the front bar, the stock 23mm M3 stock bar wont provide you what you are looking for - look into the sizes of other aftermarket sways and you'll find for just a few $$$ more, something much better - plus the end link area on the ends of the front M3 bar is a different lenght than the 318ti... reason: the ti bar drop link attaches to the front lower control arm where the M3 bar attaches via a longer link joined to the strut - not something you can do unless you have any of the M struts...
this input is from actual knowledge and experience on my 318ti - as nothing on my car is stock anymore (well, one door, rear hatch, roof!)

m3 vs m-tech (sport) for ti ... quite different. your front bar doesn't attach to the struts, does it L8? didn't look like it from the installed pic.
