I personally like the Meyle HD swaybar links for many BMWs. And the HD rear shock mounts. Meyle control arms have sucked.

My rule of thumb is that I'll use them where it makes sense, but not where it's difficult to service. Rear suspension bushings qualify as difficult to service.

And I love FCP, but just because they sell something doesn't mean it's actually good. It just means that they don't get so many returns that they feel compelled to drop it. How many people are actually going to spend the money to ship a cheap bushing back?
