Where can I find some E34 control and thrust arms with poly bushings?
I can't seem to find that combination. When I go the the Bimmer interest sites I get lots of info on smoked corner lenses.
I figure you folks will have a better idea?
Any of the GRM advertisers have them?
Of course I see lots for 3 series but not much for 5 series
Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Ebay. there are kits there that do the M5 set up with the solid bushings. I got a set there and they have held up for a year of Autocrossing.
OR
The green ones are the best. They fit the 5 and 7 series I think. You can search for them via pelican parts. But they are more $$.
pelican is where I get a LOT of the parts for my ti.

Bimmerworld, Turner Motorsports, Pelican Parts or Patrick @ BMA.
I've only done a little business with TMS, but a ton with BMA and have always been satisfied. Try UUC Motorwerks as well.
Personally I'd stay away from all the Chinese made knock-off stuff on eBay.

The Ebay stuff is hit and miss. THere is a german company that is remaking alot of the suspension stuff.

For example.
Id check their history and maybe shoot them an Email on where the stuff in made.
I have purchased a set for a e30 that have been on the car for 3 years from Ebay and the e34. Had good luck, so far.
