Hi there, I plan on purchasing a new control arm/ball joint set for my 97 A8 with a worn out front end. I would like peoples opinions/personal experience with different brands. Here are a few examples of what I have been looking at:

deutsche Parts

Has anyone here purchased either of these kits? Is there really $200 difference between them?

I don't have a problem spending the $600, but if the $400 one is still good, I can put the extra towards some new shocks.

Thanks!
