All Upper Control Arms created equal?

[NewB7]

Going to be doing the upper control arms soon [wrench] and was wondering if anyone had good/bad things to say of the following CA's? More importantly, have any of the following CA's failed prematurely on you, like the stock CA's?

I'm leaning towards the ECS Tuning Kit w/ hardware for $134 being that it's a good price point and comes with all hardware. Although, the Meyle kit states it includes "Heavy Duty" components and I'm wondering if that would be a better option being that I don't want to be replacing these again at 130K miles. I'm not lowered and don't plan to be either. I'm also aware that the pinch bolt on these jobs can be a real pain but I'm hoping the nice California weather hasn't seized them up too bad. [:D]

I know your looking for stock CA replacement but "IF" your every thinking about getting lowered on coils etc, now would be the perfect time to get ADJ CA'. I like the 4yr warranty on the heavy duty CAs though..

Just my 2 cents...GL!

I had meyle HD LCAs on my e46 and I also run them right now on my allroad. On the e46, they were great to me. Sold the car ~15k post-install so im not sure how long they would have lasted. Only have about 10k with them on my allroad... So far so good
