Hmmmh, I would comment, but I am excluded from the list of experts

So, I will not recommend you something to install in your car, but I can tell you what is installed in MY car: all from Meyle, complete

Me too. I've used them and have comments... and have been commented on, but I'll let them speak.

they call it m5 upgrades because the lower control arms are alloy and not steel. the thrust arm bushes are not the m5 type.

That auction is still an awesome value package, you could call a dealer for a quote OR that would be an equivilant to adding a "0" to the end of the auction price.

you dont necessarlily need to buy everything in that kit....If you are on a budget you should start twith the control arms to see if that solves your shimmy.Otherwise you have 650 worth of parts which you may or may not have needed AT THIS TIME.Just make sure you do the job right,or the place you take it to does it right.

you've been here for in excess of 2 years, and likely heard all that has to be said about this subject. me, i'd rather go down to the junkyard, find a e34 with no obvious front end damage, and use the lemforder components off that vehicle before i go down this road again. curiously, i've had a broke-dick lemforder thrust arm with a new bushing and new balljoint boot outlast a new h-t item put on at the same time. i may be cheap, but i'm not stupid. my installation skills had nothing to do with the failure, as both were put on at the same time. perhaps it has something to do with the fact that i drive at least 12k a year on the e34, whereas some people use their vehicles as second cars. also, fcp groton makes you buy a new item before they complete your warranty transaction.

My front suspension is Karlyn, It's about a year old and has 12K miles on it now. I replaced one of the Karlyn end links shortly after installation with a Meyle part due to an installation issue on my part. The Meyle replacement part looked to be a better part. When I replaced my brakes about a month ago I noticed the boots on the other Karlyn end link were shot. No noise yet though so I haven't done anything with it. All other parts seem to be holding up well.
