    Meyle vs. FEBI Bilstein vs. OEM Audi Control Arm Kit: Which is the best?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I was just wondering about people's experiences with any of these for those who have been on new control arm kits for some time now. Which would you recommend? Here are links with descriptions and pricing for your reference:

    Meyle: http://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catalo...58c356fe6be51b

    FEBI Bilstein: http://www.europaparts.com/control-a...-bilstein.html

    It may be noteworthy to mention that I have about 96,000 miles on the car and the control arms have never been replaced. Mechanic suggested to get it done soon since its starting to show wear. I figured I'd have it done while I'm getting my new KONI yellows on with my Eibach Springs.

    haven't had to do this yet but when i get around to it, i'll probably be going the 034 density route:

    Thanks for showing me this. Now I have another option. Still, how does this compare to any of the other aftermarket kits which make the same claims?

    Decided to go with Meyle-HD. Review to follow after install.

    So, umm… How about that review? I'm shopping for control arms and want to avoid any aftermarket parts that are just going to be junk after 10-20k miles...

    Based on other threads, I'd think MOOG/SPC should be in here, too.

    FCP is local to me so I'm kind of leaning that direction. I just need a few more good reviews for them.

    We have never had an issue with the Meyle kit. It is truly top notch!

    I've had the Fcp kit installed for about 10k and they are holding up well. For the price they're hard to beat
