Default Control Arms Kit + TRE for A6 Avant - Your advice

I have looked many places and today of course cannot shut out E-bay.
There is many Kits: by Hamburg Industie Technic, by Miele, by Febi sold by many sellers.
They range from $247 up to $640 (for HD Miele).

Can anyone recommend any of the Ebay brands/sellers: Link on the bottom.

Many of you advise to stay away from E-bay,... what would you recommend in that case- what brand/ from whom?

I realize to replace Arms is a lot of work and I do not want to do them again next year. So looking for longevity.

Many thanks Pete<ul><li><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_dmptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessor ies?_nkw=audi+a6+control+arm+kit&amp;_sacat=0&amp; _fromfsb=&amp;_trksid=m270.l1313&amp;_odkw=audi+a6 +control+arm&amp;_osacat=0">Link to Ebay offered Control

Default Our Febi-Bilstein kit is one of the most popular

<a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1013">Febi Bilstein A6 CA Kit</a>

Nothing but great reviews on these in the archives.
Includes all 8 control arms, heavy duty tie rod ends, and all the hardware needed.

Default Yes..

If you have steel uprights on the S6 (or A6), this kit works, and features upgraded tie rod ends from the RS6.
<a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1789">Control Arm Kit with RS6 TRE</a>

If you have the aluminum uprights on the S6 (or A6), this is the you need. Also uses the upgraded RS6 tie rod ends.
<a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1869">Alum Control Arm Kit with RS6 TRE</a>

The kits are not interchangeable, so inspect your uprights to see whether they are steel or aluminum.

Thanks Mike, any discount for AW members on product or shopping?
Also on Ebay selling Febi/Billstein for $495 + $12 shipping- is it your shop?

thanks

Mike and others,
since there are so many brands of these control arms, how does one know that what he bought is the Febi-Bilstein kit.
What are the marks/engraving on Febi control arms?
Many thanks

Default Febi's will always be marked "Febi Germany"

Both with stamping, printings, or engraving on the actual product.
