Where's the best place to buy a control arm kit these days? Seems like there are no kits for the S4!

I used to get my kits for my A6 from PureMS, but I spoke to Mike and he told me that a kit would be around $1000!! I even priced parts out from Impex and came up with the same #s. They don't even list a kit!

On this topic, which arms tend to go bad the m,ost? Maybe I can check those more carefully and do just them.

I'm tired of the wandering over the road thing! I'll be doing the HD TREs, as well.

Default There are no kits for the S4. I just did a full A4 kit (OEM Febi-Bilstein parts) and substituted

the solid Lemfoerder S4 tie rod ends.

And did you see Daps dyno numbers? That A4 kit really works!

Default I got a nice set with Audi OE PN's on it from Blauparts for around 400 bucks.

They were an A4 set, but no biggie.

Default I recently bought and installed the Blau S4 kit (by Meyle)

It is a VERY comprehinsive kit for 600 IIRC

I have read lots of conflicting info on if Meyle was a good way to go or not.

so far so good....

So you're saying you just used an A4 kit and no issues, huh? Hmmm. What vendor?

Correct. I got them through Tony@EPL, but Mike@PureMS has good prices too.
