Quick help wanted: Front control arms very early model split?
I've just foolishly ordered a front control arm kit for my 05/95(Euro) A4 B5 and only later on noticed that it covers cars FROM a certain chassis number. It supposedly covers cars from 8D-V-160 001 while mine is 8D-V-139 201. I've checked ETKA and it also lists two different codes for two different chassis numbers.
Does anybody know what the differences are any if they are too huge to tackle with a grinder and a hammer? Is it a geometry difference or a bushing difference?
Will I still be able to use the kit? If not, I can try and cancel it before they ship it and get my money back quickly.
Any help and insight is much appreciated!

Found out what the difference is, it's a bit too much to ignore and hammer out; one of the lower control arm tapers is 16 mm on the early cars and 20/21 mm on the later cars.
So much for that kit then.
