    Thanks for the feedback! I am also pretty pleased with how they all turned out. Control arm monoballs are next on the chopping block and should be coming before the end of the year.

    Received my set yesterday. Perfect fit and install nicely. Can't wait to drive the car and feel the difference. Thank you kevin.

    Yeah, I built a set but I haven't had a chance to test them out. I'm sure they are fine, but I don't like putting stuff for sale until I've had them on a car.

    I understand that, I was just rereading this post last night and saw the plans for the control arms. I recently purchased the thrust arm. bushings and am waiting for a few other suspension parts before I install. No worries.

    If you want to be a test mule for them, we could work something out. Shoot me a PM or an email if your interested.

    So I don’t know if it’s because I’m new but I’m interested in buying a set for the thrust arms.

    Way too many
    I'm local to Phoenix as well and have a few E39's and an E38 that I'm about to do front suspension refreshes on. I'd be happy to help you out as a test mule if you still need it.

    Yes, I do still have these available. However, I believe that e34 is a different size.

    haynes740 tested the control arm mono balls for me.

    There has been a lot of interest in these lately. I have both e38 and e39 parts in stock and ready to ship. I still offer installation as well if you'd like to send control arms to me. I updated the original post with my contact info if you'd like to purchase or have any questions.

    I didn't see one come through so I dm'd you.

    More parts shipping out this week.

    A lot of these are already called for, but I still have a few left for anyone interested.

    I know it's been 5 years or so, but do you happen to have any E39 540/M5 (65mm) monoball kits still? Interested in buying a set. Thanks...

    Man you won’t regrets these parts. I had the full set up on my 740 and unfortunately my car got totaled but that combined with the sway bars and stuff aftermarket. My 740 was a monster. I miss it to this day and of course the person that hit it. It was over something stupid. haynes740
