I used the cheap ones from german e-bay about £120 for a set, after about 4 years and 14k miles shock absorber bush started looking poor, still passed MOT without advisories but I decided to change lower straight arms anyway this time with Meyle HD, about £75 for the pair. Rest of the arms and bushes are still fine. The shock absorber bush did have hard life with 19" and 20" wheels and high tyre pressures of 42-44 PSI and I do not slow down much for speed bumps or pothole's so I cannot complain much

Dezzy have had 2 sets of cheap e-bay arms each lasting 40k miles with 18" wheels.

I have fitted fair amount of cheap e-bay sets to A4's and A6's, the arms seem to last well but with track rod ends from the set there is 50:50 chance they will fail after 10k miles or so.
