Bushes, brakes, bearings.

What brand have people gone with when replacing bushes/drop links. I have a 325i sport are polybush or genuine worth the extra? Any brands to stay clear of? Discs and pads any recommendations. Where's the best place to get caliper rebuild kits? What wheel bearings would you recommend? Thanks in advance

Hi
I fitted meyle bushes on 325 touring when I changed my wishbones with meyle drop links I bought it as a complete kit of eBay, also meyle do the m3 wishbone bush aswell which I fitted, discs and pads try mtec brakes a full set of drilled and groved with pads was £175 if I recall, I run them on my daily aswell had over 12000 miles trouble free, and caliper rebuild kits I recommend bigg red in Worcester next day delivery, front and rear kit seals and pistons cost around £50
Hope this helps scott

Eurocarparts sell Pagid pad and disc sets on ebay for £60 per axle. Refurbed calipers can be an easier option than rebuilding yourself

I would avoid meyle for the diff bush as i had a bad experience and it cracked my rear cover. Generally febi and lemforder are a safer bet all round. Polybushing is only really advisable on the roll bars where the stiffness will not affect the ride quality

Continental do a front wheel bearing that comes as a hub they are 25 each on ebay. Rear bearings im not too sure

Don't forget that the front anti roll bar drop links can be usefully replaced by Mondeo rear links.
About the same price for equivalent quality, and swaps a rubber bush for a proper ball joint.
