This was a popular swap on E90 but dont see much of anyone doing it on F30. Is it worth it? Trying to get the slop out of my steering...

I did it on my 340i. I did the Tension Struts at the same time. Steering wise its really not a day/night difference. Steering does get a little tighter. You'll feel more microvibrations through the steering wheel. Car digs in a bit more mid corner due to more camber. Braking feel is also improved slightly. Car is just more flat during braking.
I used unbranded Lemforder parts. They're identical to OEM and just have the BMW and the M logos ground off.

I got the parts from Onlinecarparts.co.uk

PNs i got are:
3825601
3825701
3825801
3825901
Im not sure if these are Lemforder or the sellers internal PNs.

Total I paid with shipping to the US was 336 pounds. This was about a year ago.

The pair is 270 from turner motorsport for Delphi alternatives. otherwise, the originals are around 370. Shipping included for both prices at the moment.
