[QUOTE="wysiwyg, post: 95398, member: 419"] Totally agree with The Necc... bodykits on most passenger vehicles are more cosmetic and aren't really going to change ride and handling characteristics significantly. A lot depends on what is meant by "sway". Is it tramlining? Cross-wind buffeting? Poor recovery from vertical road oscillations? Instability on awkward and uneven cambers? Steering sensitivity? Each would have a different "fix". Not sure about E36 specifically, but high-speed composure is unfortunately an inherent bugbear of the E46. Baru saja fix with the E90 so it's possible that pre-E46 models exhibit similar characteristics lor. Suspension tuning may help, but getting the variables balanced correctly is a bit of voodoo and you have to be prepared for trade-offs when you're NOT doing 200 and up (which would usually be most of the time). So personally, I would just avoid those speeds in your car la. Pure speed is not the most fun part of driving anyway. [/QUOTE]
