I've seen ECS list a full control arm kit for 600. Too good to be true?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=796867796 3&category=33583">ebay 466 buys it now</a></li></ul>

The tie-rod ends (?) look like they will snap when you turn the wheel
I really doubt this set is Meyle, and I am a noob.
For Audi parts, literally everything cheap is too good to be true. And unless you are DIY, putting a new set of arms in are gonna cost several hundred anyways for labor... no reason to save on parts.
If you do end up buying those, report back when they break.

i got my 8 piece control arm set for $425 2 years ago...
did the work myself no labor cost that way.. only a couple 12 packs of good german beer.. yea i am a lush..lol the arms are still going strong only thing is the kit did not include tie rod ends.. those look just like the stock ones not that bad actually.. just not the upgraded larger ones you can also get.. oh i got mine from shokan moterworks
