Control Arm Bushings Help...
Is it worth it to buy the $80.00 ECS Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushing Kit
http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...viewimage.html
over just 2 $15.00

i would only need one(left side)... but is it worth a$64"upgrade" to the orange ones?

RE: Control Arm Bushings Help...
thanks... I'll just go with my instinct...
all people care about on this forum is... turbo, chips, how to blow the s.h.i.t. out of our cars and make them go fast... what about safety???... many never change theirBRAKE PADSand only get suspension upgrades to lower their cars or they cut the springs... who cares about control arms and bushings, they can only brake and throw you into a ditch(maybe kill you)... looks like i only got 11 hits on my post...
thank you AF...
If I ask about how i can install an intercooler, i will have one of the most popular posts...
there are over 10 multiple page threads about INTERCOOLERS///
wow... fuckn' radiators must be so bad ***...

easy big guy... me personally i dont know much about this topic therefore i didnt post, if i knew more about it i definitely would have posted...
about the brake bads and that stuff... i think its a given that people do that and they want to talk about aftermarket things more than OEM...
i dont know, i would talk about my aftermarket stuff more but thats just me.

So...why don't you just go join vortex? And while you're at it, why don't you SEARCH Vortex considering it's the 14th largest board on the web before bitching?

Becauseeeee if you search Vortex, you'll find this post, reviewing an upgraded control arm bushing kit by Powerflex, which is essentially the same as what you're looking at. I think PowerFlex doesn't make it anymore since it's not on their website, but it's the same damn thing, uprated polyurethane bushings.
So you can draw your conclusions from that. Personally I would buy it because 1. If a crappy stock part breaks, I tend to lean towards upgrading it and 2. anything that can improve the TT's sloppy *** handling for $80 seems like a good investment to me.

Powerflex non-eccentric front control arm bushings.. a review
Purchased from TTstuff. I wanted to toss these in with the rest of the suspension still bone stock to see how much of a difference these jokers made.
WOW, I would venture to say the difference was as great as the 19mm n/s rear swaybar was.Steering wheel feel seems 5 pounds heavier. The difference is noticed from 0 degrees to 1/4 turn immediately. Go past 1/4 turn and WOW, the car finally turns in like it should've from the factory.Alignment was set back exactly how it was prior.

I'm sorry...
Ifigured it's not such a popular topic, andI was mad because I knew you guys could help me, and just nobody really bothered to give me at least a little reply, even saying...
i dunno, go to vortex or aw...
Whyaudiforums only???
Me personally igoogled Audi tt BEFORE purchasing thecar and i kinda likedthe crowd behind this link, AF basically convinced me to purchase an audi...I was in love with a dumb Chrysler crossfire(didn't know any better)
I read most of the threads about dv's...and chips at that time andI figured why waste my time reading other forums when people like cincy and many others hereknow everything there is to it?
I was wrong...
Thank you for all the answers i received now and before... and just to let you guys know, I really learned a lot from here...
