Monoballs and Arms for Caster Adjustment
There are two main ways to adjust caster on modern BMWs, eccentric monoballs and adjustable tension strut arms. For eccentric monoballs SPL, KMAC, and Carbahn make them, but for tension strut arms I've only seen SPL. We'll take a look at the offerings from SPL and how they compare.

Thanks for the review.
That is ridiculously thin wall aluminum tube! If that was my E90 I'd be lawyer shopping and I won't be buying their arms.

Agreed - I'd only ever install solid arms for suspension applications. Solid parts may deform if they are over-stressed, whereas a hollow component such as a tube can shear or suddenly fold if the load exceeds the design tolerance.
