should i go for them? they're $100 less than the german ones and are from a reputable manufacturer. let me know what you guys think. also my uppers just went bad and ive been driving on them for about 2 months like that. i replaced my tie rod ends in thanksgiving. would they being going bad again because of the control arms? should i replace them again when i replace the control arms now or save the tre's that come with the kit for later. i was also wondering if i should save the $30 and go for the kit with the oe tre's since i already have meyle tre's on my car. thanks in advance.

for $30 more I would go with the improved ones, even if I had the same style already. It may turn to save you more and serve you better in the long run.
Look at the difference in design:
By the way, if you have the money, go for the Ocap kit. The parts should be at least better than OEM ones.

whoa. didn't realize how many parts you guys had in your front end. I've got a lower control arm, sway bar, and a coilover.
Doubt your rod ends are going bad already. Get a wheel off the ground and shake them, make sure they're nice and tight. These cars have issues with them? I know wheel bearings go frequently with slightly older A4s (personal experience).. how bout ends on these cars?
anyway, wtf, its $30. Stick with the improved ones, its good to keep extra crap like that on hand.
