Default front lower control arm question

is there any reason to replace the arm, rather than just the bushings if I have access to a press?

I am looking at this: Audi S6 Control Arm Bushings - Audi S6 Control Arm Bushing Kit at $52 vs
this: GermanAutoParts.com : Audi S6 Suspension at $180.

I decided to replace the entire arm with the TRW units. Now my question is where do I get new hardware (other than the dealer)?

ouch, found this Audi Front Control Arm Hardware Kit - S6 1995-96 - Kit for (2) Arms but that seems a little steep.

I got my hardware from an online dealer source, just the bolts & nuts not the washers, plates & sleeves you have pictured in that kit. I do not remember the cost, but when it comes to suspension hardware you do not want to take chances.

BTW, I just pressed in new bushings when mine went and did not replace them. I think I will have to replace them when the ball joints go though.
