Some pictures of the trailing arms
These are a bit tricky to get installed without the correct bushing cup tools that will fit in the area. The knuckle side required me to remove the brake disc. On further installs I will cut down the bushing tools to fit in the area so parts do not need to be removed.
Driving impressions:
I've only done a short test drive but suprisingly has made a noticeable difference. Socket's car already has the M3 guide rod and hardrace toe arms so this upgrade has given 4 extra ball joints. The rear end feels much more stable and doesn't have any of the characteristic e8x/e9x rear end wobbliness. Addtionally, the rear suspension feels better damped, as the rubber bushes aren't constantly winding up and resisting the motion of the arms. I believe the rear shocks are unable to dampen the rubber windup effectively.
