Bimmerworld control arm deal??????

[longms]

More noob questions from this guy in the suspension forum...

My ball joints are shot and I will be doing a lot of upgrades on my M42 is. I am looking at the control arm kit offered by bimmerworld. It is the kit seen on the main page that has steel ball joint with powerflex control arm bushing for $199.99.

1) Does this fit our cars?, 2) Is this one control arm or is it a "kit" with 2?, and 3) if installing HR sport/Bilstein sport suspension setup, do i need to get the off-set control arm bushing?

I have already bought the bushing but I ordered the centered one. Do I need to have the off-set to better pair up with my new suspension set up? I have done polyurethane in the rear as well.

Thanks guys

E30 Version will fit fine.  E36 will too really.  Offset is the way to go if you want good handling.

Offset just increases the caster. This means the farther you turn the steering wheel, the more effective camber the front wheels will have. Offset ones will reduce turn-in but reduce understeer/scrubbing in tight corners and dramatically improve stability.
