SLR sells several rear Bilsteins, one which is for the X with rear sway removed. Why? I guess I should ask them and not waste you guys' time. Have a good weekend.
The rear set they sell for someone who is removing the rear swaybar has a larger (wider) cylinder. If you want to keep your swaybar on, they have a set with a smaller cylinder so the swaybar won't bang against it.
I opted for the larger cylinder and had my swaybar removed when the shocks were installed. I don't feel any difference in handling when onroad, but I'm not exactly in the habit of doing panic swerves, so I can't say if the effect will be greater in that area, now, with the swaybar off.
Sorry, I don't have the specific part number for the Bilsteins I received.
