    If i went with a kit like this for the A4:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Audi-...spagenameZWDVW

    And then bought the HD tie rod ends would the setup work on my car?

    Just trying to save a few bucks and get the job done right.

    I think it will be fine, the A4's 2.8 engine can't weigh much more than the S4 engine.

    Re: Control Arms Question

    There was an earlier post awhile ago about these control arm kits and I would defiantly stay away from them. I would go with a reputable company with some time in the market. Febi/Bilstien combo would be best and I think the best price is on PureMotorsports homepage.

    Just save those pennies.

    Pure MS is great! Performance-Cafe.com has the best price lately.

    I don't know about fitment. You should call one of the tuner shops on here and see if they know whether the A4 kit fits the S4. Don't assume that it does.
    So long, and thanks for all the fish!

    Pure Motorsport is selling the Febi/Bilstein control arms kit for 590...and if you had ordered by 8/31, you would've gotten 50 off.

    Performance-Care.com was selling a 12pc kit for something over 499.

    IMO, I think you're better getting the non-ebay stuff, when it comes to suspension. I went with Febi/Bilstein.
