Few stupid questions
First question: Does a control arm kit from say fcp groton come with tie rod replacements as well or just the control arms? Wishful thinking. Anyway my outers are complete junk i can feel it on the highway and everything and failed inspection for them. Need atleast 1 wheel bearing as well. My undercar is gonna be brand new a couple hundred dollars and a good amount of hours later. Second question: Are there " camber kits" for our cars or should i just get the fcp groton kit? I will be doing all control arms, tie rods, and axels done and after that getting my racelands finally to lower.
I will be lowered thats why im looking into it. I dont wanna get all new control arms and then decide i need adjustable ones. But is it really worth it? Edit: okay Fcp groton 12 piece kit with outer tie rods is $206. Adjustable ecs kit is $464 for only the upper control arms so then id have to buy a lower control arm kit from them for the price of fcp grotons 12 piece kit ... $224. Soo thats $206 vs $688 for an adjustable ecs kit. Again is it worth it? Opinions needed.

The adjustable control arms from 034 and ECS are pretty pricey, and not worth the money unless your car is slammed. At the point where you're getting <10k miles out of a set of tires because of excessive camber, $500 for a handful of control arms is a good investment.
I dont think im going toooo low though. I dont wanna be so low im constantly worried. Just a nice flush look. Anyways Im looking to get some new axels for my quattro as well. My boots are all torn with mad crap in there. Anyways the ones on Ecs were between $100-$150 each. Is that normal? Im about to check fcp see if they have them. Other links or sites suggestions appreciated.

DO NOT buy axles from ECS. I've gone through two of the cheap shitty chinese (EMPI/FEQ) axles on my GF's TT. Still need to return one. Buy the CV joints from from them and rebuild the axles yourself, or get reman OEM axles from Raxles.
