Robbing the e92 M3 for suspension parts - Page 17 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Whoever is giving your information is dead wrong. Of course, E9X suspension's need to be preload.

So I've read through this thread multiple times (awesome info), and I think I have the concept correct but want to confirm I'm looking at this the right way.

The front end is pretty cut and dry to me. Replace all four links and align, done. (well, other than whether I need to also buy the new hardware too or if existing can be reused).

The rear subframe bushings are the same- I know what I need.

But where I'm unsure if with the multilink setup in the rear, partly because some of the terminology seems inconsistent across vendors. This is what I *think* I need to get 90% of the slop out, while not replacing arms that already have decent bushings, or just don't make that much of a difference as the others:
-rear guide rod 3322283547
-rear upper link 33322283545

But, do I also need:
-rear upper control arm link? 33322283549
-rear camber arm link 33322283885 (I think no to this one unless I'm significantly lowered on coils, right?)

Thanks for the informed insight.
