If you're going to go new, I'd encourage you to buy from PureMS
Forum sponsor, has been a loyal supporter of the ACNA SoCal chapter, great service (Mike's replying to your thread here (don't see Eurosport or Blau doing that)), and good Febi-Bilstein parts.

So which are better: Meyle or Febi control arms/suspension parts?
Or is it roughly like TRW and Moog here in the US?
Both TRW and Moog generally make good stuff unless it's an item they've outsourced to China!! LOL!!

Another vote for Mike, Pure MS & the Febi Bilstein Kit
I bought the kit from Mike at Pure MS, the Indy shop I work with put it in, and the front end has never felt better. The mechanic, who is a very credible guy, said that the parts looked very good and he said they were perfect to install. He has done many C5 front ends.

do it all!
I did this last Summer when I discovered that both my Front Springs were broken. my wife had been driving around for a while like that, so I replaced everything because because everything was at least half-toasted.
Just be ready to deal with the upper control arm pinch bolts. I got one out no problem with a little coaxing [heat and hammering]. The other I had to cut the old upper control arms and remove the steering knuckle and bring it to a machine shop to have it removed.
