    has anyone tried one of these kits? i want to start rebuilding my suspension and for all that u get its not a bad price. I know they sell kits like these for E30s and the E30 crowd seems to like them.

    Try a search under FCP Groton or hamburg Tech.

    You'll get a whole bunch of e34 guys with all kinds of stories to tell and lots of practice on front end rebuilds.

    short answer? FCP blows. long answer? it will fail after 10,000 miles or so and you'll have to do it all over again so why waste the money on cheap ****? you get what you pay for.

    Does anybody know how often the ball joints go bad on the lower control arms? I have a press and the urge to just order some m5 bushings.

    it varies, id guess its good for 2 bushing cycles. The M5 bushes were the ticket man, no shaking even with off balance wheels.
