Velocity Motorcars sells adjustable upper rear links but Dan has all the M3 ones already.

Once the rear height comes back up it will bring a lot of the alignment specs back into range...and I can dial out the camber in the back down to maybe 1.5-ish to keep the tires flatter on the ground. If I still have problems then, we will look into the arms..

E93s sag in the ass from the factory, this is going to be setup a little higher in the rear...prolly bring the nose down just a little bit to match it.

and those Hotchkis Camber Links are a poorly engineered product. Trying to adjust those things with the wheels on the car is a real bitch...You try getting a 7/8" or a 1" wrench in there to tighten the locking nuts up

Velocity Motorcar ones are just a threaded rod with two clamps at the end which are tightened with allen screws. Very easy to tighten and loosen, and when doing so your alignment doesnt go out of wack everytime you tighten the locknut.

Eliminates a lot of going back and forth and eliminates the 'wheel off alignment' mode.

Hotchkis makes really good stuff I thought?
I dont know anything about Dan's set up but if it is eating parts, what does that mean exactly? Is the set up correct? you shouldnt be eating end links no matter who makes them
