2008 330xi e90 - suspension refresh kit - which 1 - clicking and crunching a little

So I have a e90 335xi with 90k miles. Over the winter I noticed some clicking and crunching over bumps and when turning especially at low speeds or cutting it out of the driveway. I think is time for a refesh kit. I see 2 basic kids....one in ESC, the other on FCP for around 350-400.

The ESC one has control arms, bushings, end links, ball joints, and sway bar bushings. The FCO one adds Tension strut but does not have end links and I don't believe it has bushings either. I think I am doing the comparison correctly. Can anyone shed some light for me here on which I should get? I tried to diagnose off the ground when I was changing bulbs but things seemed tight. I figured I would just buy a kit considering the mileage and have it done.

Any help would be appreciated....or a different direction if im on the wrong track.

Thanks peeps!

what did you end up doing?

I'm in the same situation.. 328 xdrive with sport suspension and 150kms.. I'm the second owner. Super clean car. 2 wks into ownership and I blew a front strut on a pothole..oil leaking everywhere.. so thinking B4 to replace the oem strut and refresh the rest while its on the hoist.

Thoughts?
