Look at importing them direct from the US.

I bought my Lemfoerder arms with 750i bushings from www.bmaparts.com and they cost me about a third (including 4 day shipping to Oz) of what the stealers were asking.

Talk to Patrick.

They do not say its a lemforder; say its a stock with performance bushings.

There are conflicting views about Meyle thrust arms. Some say its good some say its bad. Confused.

11 months ago I changed my upper and lower control arms with a brand called Optimal AG, purportedly German. 11 months and all of the ball joints have crapped out, so much noise from the front :(
