Time For A Suspension Overhaul

[SinCityA6]

OK C6 Mafia, need some input from you all.

My car just turned 120K miles and is pushing 8 years old. It is time to replace the bushings/ball joints, end links, etc. of the front end. I have searched our little piece of Audizine for some answers but none were found. I don't feel it necessary replace all the metal parts so I am looking to press out the old bushings and press in the new. So here is what I want to know:

Is there a complete kit of all bushings, etc. for our cars? I have looked through ECS tuning and can peice together a lot of stuff, but not from the same manufacturer (even OEM). I am ANAL about having everything matching (all H&R on the springs and sways, all Sony for the home entertainment, you get the point) so not being able to find all the bushings from the same maker really messes with my OCD.

Any suggestions or insight is always greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tips guys!!

Just purchased a complete Meyle 12 piece front suspension kit from FCPEuro.com for $599.99 plus shipping.

A great deal IMO and, considering the cost of piecing together just the bushings and then paying the extra labor to press out the old and press in the new, this seems to be a better solution. Will be here by the end of the week so install will be shortly after.

So I got the new control arms, c-links, wheel bearings and CV boots installed and all I can say is WOW! What a difference in the feel of the car. I did not realize how sloppy my front end was until I drove it after the new items were installed.
I highly recommend FCPeuro for their parts. I picked up the above mentioned kit plus new wheel bearing an CV boots (inner and outer) from them. Shipping was fast and customer service was responsive. PLUS, the control arm kit was nearly 50% less then the same kit on ECStuning ($599 compared to $1149).

Yeah FCP ftw. Their prices are way more reasonable then ECS. I don't understand how those guys are still in business lol. Europa is awesome too!
