Anyone want a Meyle HD control arm kit?
 
All German car parts wanted £450, trade is £372 but if I can secure another order as well as my own we will both get it for £310! They will be brand new from Euro Car Parts. I only use genuine parts of my cars but these are better then OEM quality and manufactured in Germany, hence going for these over OEM. I only need one arm replacing but am going the whole hog to keep the car feeling nice, tight and pampered. Anyone want to join? Let me know! :D

I would if mine hadnt been done lol
You might find that Mike is interested but hes tied up for a couple of days atm

Mr K 28th July 2011 12:47 PM

got a set of these on mine, and they sure are good. You will want to do the ARB links and bushes as well, and whilst your in there do the top mounts too.

I'd be interested if they do a kit for a 2000 S6 - I'm assuming that it would be pretty similar?

I've got an annoying suspension clunk when I reverse with some lock on and, given the mileage of my car, I think it would be easier to swap everything rather than mess about with individual components. It's already had new top mounts and dampers all round but some of the bushes do look a bit tired now.

Hi. Same here. for a 2000 S8. they are not the same for the 2001. i was told that the only difference was the upper front arm.(?)

Are these the newest batch of Meyle HD? I have had friends with S4/S6 that claims there Meyle HD kit didnt last longer then 20 000+ miles. (bought on ebay so you never know)

Also been looking at lemforder that is supposed to be a oem match in quality(?) and Febi-Bilstein(havent found any online dealers for those i'm afraid)

Depending on shipping to Norway i'm interested:) 650£ is the price here..

Singh 28th July 2011 07:41 PM

Okay, I'll try and find out. As I understand it Leomfender are OEM. Febi Bilstein are good too. The eBay kits could have been fake I suppose. These will come to us straight from the manufacturer.

Mike and myself spoke to the guys at
http://www.polybush.co.uk/
when we were at Gti International the other week, I've got my original arms etc still from when I changed mine recently so Im going to blast/clean them then remove the old bushes and see if I can get a set of poly bushes into them for next time +++

Curtis 29th July 2011 09:16 AM

i would if i had the cash for it .still needing the curve arm and c links.managed to do everything else bit by bit.but at that price its very cheap as i can only get the straight lower arm for same money.

daviesbike 30th July 2011 08:19 AM

can you not have a chat with them amar and see if they will come down in price if you can secure 5 orders ? +++ then of course i will want a kit, im a little skint at the moment as i just put all my pennies into the development of the intake manifold restore and upgrade

Singh 2nd August 2011 11:27 AM

Unfortunately Guy that is the group buy price! The minimum order I need to qualify for that price is two.

I'm going to order very soon anyhow, can someone confirm that the kit will fit a 1996 as euro car parts seem to suggest it will only fit 1998 models?

chalkywhyte 9th September 2011 05:02 PM

hi did you manage to buy your kit for your car or are you still waiting as it seems [according to the body repairers] i will need a set for mine , i presume they are the same for all a8s .

daviesbike 31st January 2012 11:51 AM

i need two botom arms for the front that failed the mot but if i can have a full kit then i will fit it all +++

Sub-Zero 31st January 2012 04:32 PM

I need a full set aswell do you fancy trying to get a deal from somewhere?

Singh 31st January 2012 04:36 PM

If you guys seriously want them, let me know and I'll see what I can do. The group buy isn't going ahead but I might be able to do a deal.

I'm in for a set Amar.

gapthree3 1st February 2012 12:54 PM

Yep I need a set too. Cash is now in my hand, I was quoted £430. I work near German car parts Leeds so can go in to deal face to face if required.

Singh 1st February 2012 06:20 PM

Okay, I'll see what I do. Was less then £430 off the top of my head.

Singh 1st February 2012 06:27 PM

Just checked, I can hopefully get them cheaper then the £430 GSF are quoting, will confirm in the next few days after I've heard back from my contact.

Singh 8th February 2012 02:01 PM

I can get these kits for members for £410 delivered. Delivery can take 5-7 days though. Let me know if your intrested. +++

Architex_mA8tey 8th February 2012 04:40 PM

That's a great price for meyle Amar +++
Shame I've already done mine! :rolleyes:
