I have a set of UrS4's modded control arms...
He can only do the lower front control arms however, as they are the only ones with ball joints with enough material to tap a zerk into.
I personally love these arms. I used to have an extremely squeaky front suspension. Now it's just kinda squeaky- My upper control arms are still squeaking away, but I hope to resolve that with some CPP arms =)

ECS upper arms are not zerkable...
The lowers can be zerked, but not the uppers. There is just not enough material to tap a zerk into while keeping things safe.
The CPP arms are an aftermarket offering that I believe can be zerked due to their more substantial construction. I think the maufacturer even has a set pre-zerked that can be purchased- A call to AWE or ND can probably confirm. The CPP's also use a metal heim joint in place of bushings- I was a little concerned about this at first as I figured metal heims would not soak up impact like rubber or urethane bushings would. Several forum members who are running the CPP arms have assured me that the CPP's perform just fine under every day driving.
For $700, I look at these as a solid replacement to squeaky OEM arms. What's even better- You can dial in +/- camber with the CPP's too!
