Absolutely get the idea if you're going to really lower the car and want the camber etc; but for an every day car; I'd stick to OEM spec personally

Aren't the M3/M4 arms the ones to go for; for more camber adjustment but retaining the OEM compliance?

*** Edit: Forgot to say that my motorsport mechanic pals use these when they're working on non-M F3x cars that are to go on track/lowered a lot, and they can get really good fast road set-ups dialled in using the M3/M4 arms and they don't push the wheels that much at all...

I chose not to go for them on my F31 as it's an every day driver & I wanted to retain the comfort/ride characteristics of the OEM factory car; so stuck with all new arms and suspension all round and that's made a superb change to the car/handling/ride etc
Most people who get VAC monoballs on here do not report a noticeable change in NVH but a dramatic increase in steering precision and feel, just from posts on here it seems less than 5% report what you’re claiming. I have mine and am waiting to install them.
