zukgod1 is on a distinguished road
E53 adjustable rear control arms.

Yes they are out there.
I've seen a few posts about people asking and they all struck out.
Well, I wanted to install the BC coilovers I had sitting here but I didn't want to destroy rear tires as a result.

So the search begun.
After a few days I found a image of what I was looking for. After a little more digging I found some contact info and reached out to them.

A week later and $850.00 I had them in my hands.

The quality was really good and easy to make adjustments.
I took them apart and put a little anti seize.
The lock bolts are a tad too close to the old spring mount in my opinion, I'll watch it to see if it hits during normal travel.

Here are the arms.


Couple comparison shots.



The install.




The lock bolts I mentioned.
As you can see they are stupid close.
The marks on there are from the install FYI.



End results.



Over all I'm happy, I've set the rear to low turns out so I'll hammer on it for a couple days then reset the height and re align.
Wheels should be here tomorrow so hopefully I can get those on tomorrow as well.

I'll post up the link for the arms when I get to work tomorrow as well as a profile shot.
