You are right.
Looked at the Tisher's price, for the entire kit, that's 1000+ with rear shocks. If (highly likely) upgrading the suspension (e.g., PS) at the same time (2012 comes with linear spring rates which is good though), that's roughly 2500+ mods. Temped...... |

I thought I read somewhere that the tension rods only make things stiffer, while the wishbones provide the steering feel as well as the camber. I forget where this was, but I'm probably wrong, so thank you for clearing this up!

You right. 570ish plus the rear shocks around 240ish plus shipping. Not cheap. And according to HPAUTOWORKS, he recommended to swept the entire kit

Wow! I just picked my car up from having the alignment done. The combination of the M3 sway bar (which I already had), the M3 control arm kit (which I just added) and an alignment really transform the way the car feels and handles. Turn in and overall steering feel is much more crisp, with no slop whatsoever. Also I didn't feel any push from the car as I drove it hard through a few corners, although admittedly not as hard as I would have on an autocross or road course.
The M3 control arm kit is definitely a worthwhile suspension mod, especially coupled with the M3 sway bar. The M Sport version should have come that way from the factory.

Been reading this thread and learned alot about the front parts swap. Just got one noob question here, if the car is not being lowered why are the headlight links necessary?
