Those look interesting. Would prefer they were silver or black... but that's a personal thing.

How much were they? They weren't listed as available on their site... just had a wish list option.

Hardrace Camber Arms installed. I used the arm bolt to line up the new one and set the general length sizing. Adding a smudge extra length because I wanted less camber than the eccentric bolt could give me





I snipped the plastic pivot tab off the hose holder and strapped it on the new arms



While working on the passenger side arm the driver side airbag blew its top ring seal :bang head: an aftermarket part that I would have expected a little more life than less than a year.......GRRRR

Oooh Nice stainless steel brake lines mike. I've got a set to install on the X5 on the next brake service/upgrade.

Thanks Jay!

I put them on at the same time as I did the DOT 5.1 brake fluid flush.

The combination yielded a firmer pedal feel and more responsive braking for a given pedal pressure.

Love it.
