Meyle control arms?
Anyone know about Meyle or Hamburg Technic lower control arms and tie rods? Are they better than OEM? Thanks

The arms themselves are no different, but the balljoints are better. Slightly stiffer ride, and they last a lot longer than OEM.

Same here I bought the $200 kit and because I have lowered my car and have 17" I had to upgrade to poly lower control arm bushing but other then the bushings everything else has held up great for 2yrs. |

for the e39, meyles are beyond not recommended. it's what a dealer would use to patch up a warrenty work and move on.
maybe it's different for e30's
