Is Lemforder really worth the difference in price? Or do you suggest Meyle HD with poly bushings?

I just installed the Meyle HD upper control arms (thrust arms), is that what you are about to install?

At the very least, Lower control arms, thrust arms and sway bar links.

I installed a 10 pc. Meyle HD front end kit a little over three months ago. Everything is still tight as a drum with no funny sounds over bumps and dips.
Not that it matters, but I went with the aluminum lowers and all pieces seem to be very good quality. Nice rubber boots, all came with new, nylock nuts.
So far, I'm pretty impressed with the quality, especially for the price.

The Meyle HD stuff is very high quality, as they do make OEM parts (just not these ones specifically). The lemförder parts were twice the price (maybe even 3 times the price) of what the Meyle 10 piece kit costs from FCP, and I can't see them lasting 3 times longer.

I have Meyle HD thrust and control arms with powerflex poly bushings in my e34 and have had this set up for the past year and a half and am very happy with it

I installed the Meyle HD upper thrust arms, but have only driven about 100 miles on them, but so far they are great, seem really nice and tight (just be sure to torque them properly, under load, etc, etc.). Also, no more 55mph shimmy ! ! !

I remember when many would $h1t@lk the Meyle parts.
I'm glad I didn't heed their "purist" Riccola call.

Replaced my whole front end with meyle, 97,000 miles ago. They are still there and goes straight down the road.... No shimmies. Good enough for me
