where can I get new control arms without getting ripped off ?

I need to replace the upper control arms on the left side. Looks easy to do. Im OK with minor repairs but I would like to know if anyone has done it before and if it's as easy as it looks.
Thanks..

With Audis, there is always a specail tool. I would enter the job prepared with a second car to make

runs to home depot. Depending on the climate, your best friend could be a can of WD 40 or another penetrating lubricant to loosen up some of those suspenion part bolts, if you don't you may want to employ the use of a back brace.
BTW, how did you decide you needed a new control arm? Are you replaing both the uppers and on which side?
