Control arms and bushes

AWSAWS · 09-14-2015, 10:51 AM

Hi,
I figure I'm going to upgrade the cars control arms, roll bars and bushes to M3 equivalents before going ahead on coil overs.

Can anyone suggest the best place to get them?

Are there upper and lower control arms required for the front and the rear?

If going for Bilstein B14 kit after, will these upgrades be retained?

Car: E92 MSport 2009

Thanks

Its the rear track control arms, JTC1432, that doesnt fit the non-M cars, its a different length.

Fit new top mounts and new track rod ends on the front too (though the top mounts could wait until your doing the B14 kit, i'd suggest doing everything at once, rather than paying for alignment twice)

Thanks guys

What about these bushes people talk about? Are they seperate?

Sorry never done this stuff before.

Probably the rear subframe bushes that most people change? The M3 ones are stiffer, or theres aftermarket ones that are stiffer still.
