Suspension install questions
I just picked up these suspension parts (picture attached) for my 2003 X50 with 90k miles. It is the H&R RSS kit along with TPC sway bars. Here are my questions:
1. I did not see any stickers so can someone confirm if these are in fact TPC sways?
2. The parts on the far right and left, are these front drop links?
3. What is the consensus on boots for the heim joints? What size do I need? Tarett sells small and large.
4. I hear a lot about checking top mounts for cracks. What part is this?
I am also installing GT3 LCAs in the front and will put in new OEM engine(996) and transmission(997) mounts. Any other suggestions while I am at it?
Thanks in advance.

\ looks like you have 2 sets of drop links
3. What is the consensus on boots for the heim joints? What size do I need? Garett sells small and large.
dust boots are fine if you want them. helps to keep out moisture

+1 plus what else Steve and mxracer said.
If those sways are adjustable they will be an improvement over stock no matter what they are

The left and right links are front sway links that are intended to also be the front upright shock clamp/tension bolt instead of the shock purposed sway link attach point. Similar to the attached picture. Just be careful that the link do not hit the front drive shaft. Turn full lock both directions.

32krazy,
How much noise/vibration gets transmitted to the cabin with the torque solutions motor mounts vs. new OEM mounts? Is there a significant improvement with these vs OEM?
