e90 Rear Suspension Arms Refresh Questions

Don't think it'll get picked up on the suspension forums so im posting it here

So I'm going to be changing out my rear end Toe & Camber arms since I just lowered the car all the way with the ST X Coilovers & a couple questions have come to mind.

Do I need to replace the trailing arms as well to adjustable ones to compensate for the difference on the new parts I'm installing?


Do I need to replace the suspension bolts when doing this job?

I'm also swapping out the Front Swaybar links to adjustable because they are needed when lowering past stock levels. My question is do I need to replace the rear ones as well?

Considering this set as it looks similar for much less (wear part anyways)

Hotchkiss isn't a bad route to go for a set of adjustable sway bar links.

I have the bilstein B12 kit. I have Whiteline adjustable up front & Meyle HD (non-adjustable) in the rear. I think it really depends on how far of a drop in the rear you did. Mine was 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" in the rear. The Meyle HD works ok for me. In an ideal world, I'd have an adjustable set in the rear.

I did have Hotchkiss at one point, but they wore out after 2 years. So, I switched up. I love the Whiteline up front.
