Rear Control / Camber Arm

GregorFuk · 23-11-2015, 10:38 PM

Had some bad news from Redish this afternoon. My rear passenger side control arm has a hairline crack.

These are NLA from BMW so I'm reaching out to see if anyone has a spare knocking around. If so, and you are willing to part with it, please get in touch and we can work out a deal.

Cheers

Gregor

There is a pair on eBay.de at £650!

Hmm, kind of pricey.

Link?

Why not just go for some adjustable ones - loads to chose from

?

I know it's a option but I'm trying to stay OEM.

If they are no longer available then I wonder where Tom Schirmer got these brand new ones for Moran's track car? Might worth contacting him as he might hold stock?

Would stock M3 arms be an option?

or does cesil have its own type?

If you order from BMW today I think you get the standard M3 arms. The original CSL item was an improvement on that (lighter or stiffer or both)

I think I may have to go aftermarket. Lots of people seems to go for the Turner option but if I can't go OEM I'd prefer to stay stealth and the Turners are a bit blue for me. So I think I may go for these ECS arms.

Ah, but now I see that OEM CSL items have a ball joint and not a bush on the inner mount. So Should I be going for the Turner arms with the ball joint?
