Also can you comment on the difference between these brands of OEM parts found on http://seekpart24.com/bmw/3-coupe-e9...ar-100017?lp=1

Metzger<- - usually listed cheaper than TRW, but images and refs point to simple 3 series parts

Lemforder<- - seems to have replacement m3 steering links, but that is all

Febi Bilstien<- - has some rear control arm components, but parts do not match up in realoem

TRW<- - reviewed to be on par if not more reputable than Meyle / Meyle HD. e34/e39 and e46/e36 guys have used their control arm parts. Have not seen any bad reviews for German cars. Some USA cars had issues maybe because of made in china items
