Dinan 4-bar rear link kit ?

[M2C AW]

Anyone have thoughts / experience on the benefits of installing the two front rear thrust arm links included with the Dinan kit ? The benefits of the rear toe- links is well established I believe, but how about the two thrust arm links ? They aren’t even offered by many of the manufacturers of rod-end style adjustable toe-links...so I wonder if they are even worthwhile. Anyone ?

Looked at those before going with fall line toe links. Did remove both eccentric bolts in the toe links as well as camber adjustment for rigidity, but primarily was focused on alignment- maintaining toe with increased negative camber.

On the front end, found the tension/thrust arm bushing to be a huge difference.

Anyone else have thoughts on how much benefit (If any) Installing these particular arms produce ? I have them in hand, but waiting to install until I have a better understanding of the benefits...or down-side.

If you’re looking for improved track performance, increased stiffness and adjustability then installing all four is the way to go. BimmerWorld replaces all links on the rear of the e92 M3 and it make a huge performance improvement. Ideally, you’d want to replace all suspension bushings with monoballs. The only downside is a possible slight increase in NVH (depends on a person’s own sensitivity) as well as the potential for rattling/clunking down the road once the monoball radial clearance opens up with continued use. When this happens then just replace the rod ends. I’d also recommend installing front thrust arm (LCAB) monoballs which improves stiffness and helps with braking stability.

That all makes good sense. I have the front thrust arms, rear upper control arms, and rear toe- links, but as mentioned I have been holding off on the rear “traction bars” for the time being. I guess it’s a no brainer...Rubber bushings=bad; solid bushings= good...At least when it comes to holding suspension settings under load. I guess I’ll go ahead and throw them on. Thanks for the input.
