Front suspension kit ?'s
 
PureMotorsports ( http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1013 ) and Blauparts ( http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail....=M1A1101-02-1A ) both seem to have decent kits. Anyone with experience of either? I can save a good $100 with Blauparts, but won't quibble when safety comes into play. Any other ones you could point me to would be greatly appreciated as well. I would prefer one source for the whole kit and brakes all the way around. Not looking to upgrade the brakes more so than maybe slotted or drilled rotors and ceramic pads but no big brakes. I have to put quite a bit of money into the body so I could really use a good deal on these parts.

both are probably fine, go with blau to save some money. there isnt any real safety concerns (unless you find a $50 kit on ebay from china) except on the lower quality kits the rubber bushings can wear out faster and squeak and need to be replaced again.

Funny you ask: I'm pounding that very same Ocap kit from Blauparts into my A4 this weekend. The quality is excellent on it; the only real difference that I can see from the more expensive Myele kit is that the rubber seals on the joints are sealed a little differently, but I don't know if that's going to make any real difference in longevity. I installed a set of Ocap tie-rod ends on my A6 over a year ago, and they still look like new.

Just my 0.02.

Let me know how it works out for ya and if there's any pointers on that kit itself that may help. Thanks for the reply. Oh and gotta ask Blue Light or Jack Daniel's go better with that job lol.

If you are just looking for the control arms 034 offers a OEM set that I sell for $370 + shipping. I was told by 034 that they were left over sets that were not used on the production line.

Now if you guys are interested in the Myele kit from Purems let me know and I will see what type of discount I could offer you guys as a group.

That kit would work if you could figure out which tie rods to throw in and what price that would add. PM me back about the total of all the stuff we discussed and I'll let you know.
