I mean is there performance or forged versions or basically some kind of upgraded versions of these parts since Ill be replacing them anyway and warranty will hopefully pick up the tab.

Blau was just advertising a sale on control arms. Don't know how good they are though.

Stock S4 TRE's are pretty good. They've been updated a couple times through the years and are quite good. They're standard issue on all the new models. We recommend them for all the older B5's and C5's as a nice upgrade.

I cracked my stock TREs, and I think that's a pretty common issue for road racers. I picked up a set of CPPs a while back and they've held up really well. That's why I'm wondering if anyone's got something comparable.

MikekiM@PureMS-what do you mean you reccomend them as an upgrade. Are you saying the ones I would order from the stealership for my B% right now would be different and improved than the originals that came from the car? Thanks for the info
Also what are your thoughts on the adjustable controle arms? Are they a vast improvement? Or could they easily be adjusted incorrectly and hurt performance?

You can go full spherical if you want razor-edged response: http://www.034motorsport.com/product...ducts_id=18307
These press into stock arms, fully rebuildable, and use high quality, huge, teflon lined spherical bearings.
