I would like to buy a full control arm kit, I have a choice between 3 kits.

@ 034motorsport I found 2 kits
1. Control Arm Kit, Density Line, OE B5, C5 (http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?products_id=13856) $375.00
2. Spherical Control Arm Kit, B5 & C5 (http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?products_id=18307) $695.00

@ ECS Tuning (which i hate to deal with)

Complete Control Arm Kit - Including Hardware (http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-RS6--4.2T/Suspension/OEM/ES1843770/) $1039.29

I need to know which one comes with a full set of control arms not only bushings and which is the best choice, and why if possible to explain. If you prefer some other kits please advice too.

Thanks in advance for all help.

I live in Hawaii where things are usually more expensive. With the Salt air and the rain and humidity here all the rubber was cracking and I did some checking on bushings vs the complete kits. The dealer was the least expensive with genuine parts including the install and a 12 month 12k mi warranty came to about $550.00 complete labor and parts. Check your local dealer and then shop around.

Be Warned .... The front lower control arm on the c5 rs6 are only fitted to this car...

All the ones in these kits are not correct for the c5 ..
