Ok..maybe I misread/understood the right and left bits.
So you are saying there are:
Upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right for each front wheel?

I emailed both about this last August, asking if they had a kit similar to ECSs kit listed in the A4 section. I see that PureMS now offers a similar kit as ECS in their A4 section but I don't think either have a UCA kit for the S4:

Todd,
The A4 does not use the same control arms as the S4. The bushings in the S4 are stiffer than those in the A4. That's why you won't see this part [kit] listed in the S4 section.
You'll get less feeling in your steering and suspension response by using
A4 control arms. They are physically interchangeable, as it's only the
bushing that's different.
If you want A4 arms, we could probably put together a kit for a similar
price [as the ECS kit], though like I said, they aren't the same as the S4 parts.
