Unless you want to upgrade to thicker H&R sway bar(s) for performance reason.

H-Sport is another popular performance brand of sway bars....
I had the H&R kit on my last Audi, they really worked well and reduce body roll substantially, however, if you have the Ultra Sport pack, then you have thicker bars anyway...

Anyone know the expected labour cost or the number of hours to replace the controls arms? I am having new shocks installed next week and I suspect that some of my control arms might need replacing - I am at 94k and I can hearing some squeeking coming from the front end.
I figure it would be cheaper to have them done at the same time and maybe try the euro kit from ecs.

Febi,
“Made in Germany” for us means both high quality standards and commitment. As we have continuously developed our range, we have also considerably increased the proportion of in-house production parts and constantly invested in high-tech production technologies. Febi has been machining metal parts since 1844 and is therefore highly experienced in this area. This combination of knowhow and precision technology lends itself to the development of every massproduced product and enables the production of even the most demanding parts.

Before I purchase this. Is everything I need included in this kit? It looks like it has the sway bar links that you guys recommended I replace also.

Most important thing.
The new arms have to be installed and tightened at the angle of normal ride height, or where they would be with the car sitting on the ground! This is impossible to do with the car on jack stands (you would have to compress the springs from below with pressure equal to the weight of the car).
