    No. You own a ZHP...in order to keep the driving feel and the awesome turn-in, M-Sport Control Arms are the way to go. Please tell me that you are driving a car you can afford to properly maintain. New Lemfoerder ZHP control arms are $400 with free shipping from OEMBimmerparts.com. There is no way you shouldn't be able to afford that.

    ZHP ones should last longer too, I believe.
