M3 Rear Control Arms
Hi guys, I plan on having my rear subframe bushing replaced next month and I was wondering that since I am doing so, I may as well change the sway-bar and Control arms to M3 stuff too. Does anyone have any experience with this and would I need additional parts to make it fit?
BTW I did do a search but it just seems to be more confusing than helpful. Thanks Last edited by darkenergy; 05-29-2013 at 03:02 PM.. |

I just ordered the upper rear control arm kit from ECS tuning. Going to do the install this weekend. I already did the M3 subframe bushings as well as the front M3 arms. My rear sway bar is still stock as I don't have a limited slip diff. You'll be happy with the results. Swap out your stock springs and struts/shocks too if you have the budget.

My advice is to leave the rear sway bar stock if you are going to track your car. A stiffer rear sway bar may result in a more fun feeling on street, but most people who've tried it say it results in slower lap times on track, with or without LSD. There are a few people who have LSDs, very stiff suspensions and very wide rear tires who've said it helped, but they are exceptions. Most people who try it on track end up putting the stock sway bar back.
I strongly recommend the M3 rear arms including aftermarket toe arms, such as Rogue or Megan Racing. They were the last piece that made my car finally feel right and handle securely. |

I plan on doing the LSD in the future (maybe somewhat distanced), for this year my goals are to get all the M bits out of the way (sways, bushings, control arms...) and then play with the shock and springs next year.

I had RE toe arms and gave them away after a few months because the spherical bearings got clunky. Get Megan's toe arms.

I don't know. HPA Shop sells replacement ball joints for the Rogue, but I haven't needed them yet. Several people have posted that they think the Megan toe links are more reliable.
