OK once Ira gets the stuff from me and designs the droplinks, I'll ask him how he wants to organize everything.

BTW I have no interest with his company or any sort of profit. He/his company is very reputable in the Porsche club racing/racing/DE world with the quality of parts that he produces, which is the reason why I approached him in the first place. He did ask me if there is some sort of market in the BMW world for his parts and this is the beginning of getting into the market.

UPDATE: I've sent my OEM links to Tarett Engineering. I will get in touch with him next week for details.

UPDATE: I recieved an e-mail with Ira and he says that there will be no problem with producing these. They will be the the same length as OEM, will have rod-ends like ones pictured on page one, and will cost $275 if a couple more people aside from myself gets a set.

For those interested, please send me a PM or e-mail: araquino01 "a t" sbcglobal "d o t" net

Are these only for the 4.8??

Does anyone know if this would be ok for the 3.0L as well? If so I'm in. Thanks.

The droplinks for all E53 X5's (years 00 to 06) are all the same.

For those interested

Contact the owner of the shop directly. His name is Ira. He will be making more than one pair.

These will fit any E53 X5. These are the same length as the OEM links though they will have adjustable collars. These are a straighforward install, like the OEM pieces.

I don't think there are any other details that need to be mentioned. It's a pretty straightforward item... a heavy duty pair of droplinks for our E53 X5 with teflon-lined rod-ends... same setup that are used by many on their 911/996/997's... you can do a search on Rennlist.com regarding feedback on their quality.

Just got them in... These won't be clunking or breaking on me anytime soon! :D You can see how beefy the bodies are and by looking at it in person, the teflon-lined rod ends are very beefy, tight, and very well made.

Does this work well with Eibach Sways?

Not sure what you mean by "work well" but ... it works with aftermarket sways because they're adjustable.
