I looked at their retailer rating and it's at 5 stars but I am not a 100%...

Should I get these or get OEM control arms instead and pay more ??

From what I've heard their products are junk.

I would get OEM or these - http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/StoreFront/product_detail.asp?RowID=879&CS=bimmerworl&All=


I hope you're planning on replacing the actual control arm bushing as well....

Yup, that's why the kit had Control arms and bushings in it...

Cool.

In that case. Stepping up to at least polyurethane is a great upgrade for these cars if you are planning on hitting up AX or the track. http://www.slowdowntogofast.com/host/upload/1shifty.gif
