or you can buy used ones as long as you know the part #'s from audi dismantlers like shokan

wait what? why you need to replace your front control arm? did you hit something?

[mr_esmit]

fcpgroton has an ebay store also. I bought stuff from them when I had my B6.

If I get a complete front upper and lower control arm kit for a b6 will it fit my b7?

I just bought all 8 front control arms, 2 tie rod ends and 2 front sway bar links, all OEM made by Lemforder for $950 shipped.
Stealer wanted over $2000.

^That's pretty cheep... I found so many kits but none were made by Lemforder or TRW. What I got is identical to what you would get from Audi. If I had to go aftermarket, I would go 034 or Febi Bilstein.

^ is Febi really Bilststein? I read about Febi & Meyle years ago but please jog my memory

I do not think they are the same company.

I still have some of the boxes sitting around from my FCP kit. I'll take a peek and see who the manufacturer was. I can say that I have had the full kit on for about 40k so far with quite a few track days and everything is holding up fine. Plus they have a lifetime warranty.
