Default What is the difference between the S8 and A8's control arms?
Are the S8 control arms interchangable with the A8? Im assuming they could be an improvement.

Default I believe one of the upper front control arms is different.
I had all control arms for my 2000 A8L installed when I had the S8 suspension (springs and shocks) put on. They had to purchase an S8 control arm to complete the install.

Default Doesn't look like it, from a quick look at ETKA.
I wonder if, on yours, they had an A6 set? I think a bunch of the control arms are the same, but one is different.
