Guess I know which one I'm going with! Looks great! Bushings are the same as factory correct?

Modifying the strut tower is required on the b6/b7 platform in order for these to work properly.

I watched the video and it shows modification to the upper strut housing. Did I miss where you need to modify the strut tower?

The current video on their website is on the B8. Their previous video was on a B7 and they HAD to grind down the strut tower. Not to say they aren't good, I actually saw them today at my local VAG performance shop and they are solid. Just giving fellow AZers a heads up; according to the B7 video it looked as if grinding wasn't done there would be metal on metal contact (between the CA and tower). It doesn't look like they have revised their design, If they have then i stand corrected.

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely do a bit more research before I purchase!

I have these control arms and I did the install myself I did have to grind the mount a little bit I ended up using a cut off wheel to modify it the area that needs to be grinded is pretty thick so the small amount of grinding shouldn't be a problem in the future. While doing it I had an Audi tech watching and he didn't see any problems with grinding it.

Yes, some grinding is required - which is illustrated in the instructional video.

I want these, but I really hate the idea of having to grind the mount to make these fit. You would think they could engineer the arms so the grinding would not be required, especially since other options exist that don't require it.
