But don't email me when there are delays and you paid too soon. That's all I ask!

Sorry Jeff I wasnt referring to you. I was talking about UUC. They seem so lackadaisical about this whole thing. I appreciate you pulling this together for what could be the last run of sways out of them for the 335i xdrives.

Yea I know, that's why I had to get the right people on the phone and voice the issues at hand. Thanks for your support. I'm doing the best I can here given the circumstances.

I was chatting with the owner David about how tough it is to get UC's attention and he seemed interested in filling the void if we had enough interest. What do you think?

I bought the front and rear UUC sways, but only installed the front because of the need to drop the rear subframe in back. I'm still on the fence about installing the rear bar because I prefer to trade some amount of body roll for more traction on corner exit.

Adding the front UUC bar removes compliance and adds precision to turn-in. This is counter-intuitive. Usually a bigger front sway exacerbates understeer. In our case, with McPherson struts in front, the bigger bar helps control the front alignment, maintaining the negative camber longer as the weight transfers to the outside radius.

I have worked with Dave and Synchro Design Works, too. Dave and I collaborated on a sealed spherical bearing for the xDrive front traction strut. Two observations: 1) My experience working with Dave and Synchro was superb. He's passionate about the hobby and a standup guy. 2) the xDrive spherical bearings should be near the top of the list for any xDrive pilot who tracks the car. Those bearings on that strut go a long way to remedy the second-class citizen status of xDrive suspension compared with RWD. Take a close look at the bushings in the stock tension arm. It's designed for compliance and comfort.

Hey Jeff,

So is there an exact date for when the set will be ready for shipment? Very interested but im one of those people who had to cancel their order because of the run-around and delay in production.

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 12-17-2016, 07:39 PM

Hey guys

The latest update is ETA around 2nd week of Jan. UUC will confirm with me after the holidays the EXACT date they will be ready to ship. Soon as I know that, we'll get the pre-orders & payments going - That way the people paying know this item is truly shipping on a real date, no bologna as I say.

Good to hear! Send an update when they're ready and I'll get an order in.

ucdbiendog · 12-28-2016, 10:18 AM

Jeff, I noticed their sway bar bushings are on back order too. are they planning to make any extra sets of those? If not, is it too late to request them? I'm mostly interested in the front, but might also buy a rear set to have on hand. Thanks!

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 01-03-2017, 05:04 PM

Hey guys!

I sent an email to UUC and await their next update.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, within the next week (give or take a few days), we will start taking payments. I'll announce it here and I'll have special links for you to purchase from. Don't buy on the site. Thanks!

Thanks for keeping up with this.

I'm definitely down to buy the front bar but I can't find any info on the rear bar and whether it is better than the M3 rear bar. Any recommendation here?

Good to know, waiting with CC in hand for a full set.

I had voted that I wanted a set. Do I need to do anything else until it comes to payment time?
