Default Who's got the best control arm kit? Has anyone tried the Shokan A4 kit? (more)

I think I remember someone on this forum has used the A4 kit, but I'm a bit skeptical. Here's the link:
http://www.shokan.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32_33&products_id=29

Otherwise Blau Parts sells an S4 kit for significantly more money:
http://www.blauparts.com/Featured_Audi_Parts/0305/Control_Arm_Audi_S4_Improved.shtml

And ECS sells a lower C/A kit and then you have to buy the upper arms separately, and it adds up to even more money than Blau:
http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=2.7T&mod el=B5%20S4&submodel=&category=Suspension&a mp;subcategory=OEM

Any word from the wise? TIA.

Default P.S. Just s-ed TFA and found my old posts on this. Appears the Shokan kit does work, but (more)

I think I may have aluminium lowers (?) as I have an early build S4, and I think the Shokan kit is steel, although I have also heard that Shokan will swap in the aluminium parts.

Assuming the worst, that they only have steel, is there any reason why I can't replace my aluminium parts with steel ones? (I'm not too particular about whether they're Al or steel, just that I can get them cheap.)
