Default Some have been unhappy with the Febi arms after a year or so of use. However, I've had mine on

for a year now and have zero problems. Search under either me or qfrog about Meyle and you will steer clear of them. Their only good product is their HD TREs.

You have to get lucky with either. It all depends on driving conditions I think. Just your pref.

Default I had Meyles on my old A4 for 3 years without problem. I checked them before I sold it

and they were still good and strong. No boots were torn and had no play in the ball joints.

Just saying...

Febi is not Chinese. Meyle is offshore, not German...
