The only trouble with the Meyle kits, in my experience, is that no matter how much you stress that the kits are for an S8 with 20” wheels, they send the wrong upper (?) arm

Luckily for me, my car is not a Final Edition model and so I think the kits are easier to get hold of.
Isn't it getting quite difficult to get some of the arms for the 20" wheel cars?

I've gone with Meyle HD pretty much all round now after being disappointed with how quickly some parts of the OEM sets I've had seem to wear out. So far so good!
 Details of the front suspension kit and additional parts I bought are here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...t=14593&page=5 My post further down the page gives what I believe are the correct Meyle HD part numbers for both FE and non-FE cars.

However, Meyle are now the only reputable company I know of still making the 20" lower arms so its those or Chinesium now.
