I have some issues with the vibrate on braking at about 50mph and had a look on ebay at this kit

do i need the whole kit or is it just a specific part i need to stop this?
or is it just a con...should i just get genuine parts?

525i 1989 with lowered suspension

its been fine for years but this 50mph thing has started to creep in and get worse

You want the thrust arm bushes and since you have to go in you might as well do the lower ones too. Makes about 80 quid's worth.... I'd goto www.nolathane.com.au (http://www.nolathane.com.au) and www.noltecsuspension.com (http://www.noltecsuspension.com), even posted from Australia it'd be cheaper given the exchange rate... :) Nick

PS. I've had these bushings they work very well indeed, but you feel the road more than with M5 or 750 bushings. But they never break...
