The camber arm is the one in the middle, upper side of the hub assembly. In your photo, it's the arm on second from the bottom. In the photo I posted in this link, it is item -4:

Heh...I see from your photo that you and I have the same digital HD PVR... Or at least it looks like it. I thought my HD PVR was the best invention ever, but then I got my iPhone.

Rear sub frame seem to move around over time with wear. I recall having seen a short video made by.... (Speedybenz?) but I may be wrong, showing the lateral movements of the frame. I can imagine that this could be very detrimental to rear handling, so anyway to stiffen up the lot would be positive.

I assume he means rear trailing arm bushings, which commonly need replacing on BMWs.

are you going to molest the new LCA?
are you going to chisel out the new bushings on dose Febi arms and put the new K-mac's instead?
you'll have a brand new suspension when you're finally done

I imagine that with a 12 year old car, if the suspension has not been touched, it could indeed be in need of a touch of renewal to tighten up everything. True if you plan on keeping the car and don't have a rust bucket

I am keeping this car until it dies The suspension has not been touched by the previous owners and has taken a beating from the LOW profile tires I have wrapped around my 19" rims. After I finish the suspension and then exhaust I am going to down size to some 18" rims.

P.S the only rust I have are the tiny rust bubbles around the sunroof, we don't salt our roads here as we never get snow

Good idea and can only concur to your decision. 19" is going a bit overboard and look out of place IMO and that size would look better on a SUV

19 inch rims slows your car down, too much dead weight for your engine to pull.
18's are maximum on these cars if there are no feather light weight 19 inch rims

Lol, I am married but my wife understands how much I love cars, I had 5 cars and we made a deal that I could spend 1/2 my tax return on whatever I wanted if I got rid of 2 of the 5 cars.... Now I have 3 cars and 1/2 my tax return to spend on whatever I want, so I figured I would put the $$$$ to good use

I decided to go to a shop to have everything installed as it would take me at least 1-2 weeks to install everything plus I don't have all of the right tools not to mention I am the "I want it now" kinda guy. I am awaiting their quote, I should have it by early next week. The shop I am taking my C43 to is a kleemann dealer/installer and I have already talked with them about the kleemann headers so if the suspension install isn't too ridiculous I should be able to get the headers installed as well, I HOPE!!!
