Are they worth the extra? I can get 18mm balljoints from Sutton Auto Factors that are Continetal direct for roughly 8 quid a piece, likewise for TREs. I know its normally the case of " you get what you pay for " However i just want to confirm.Thank you, James! ________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

Factor in the time it takes to change it, or the labour if you are paying for that too then smart arse.  If it's still cheaper then go for it, most OEM suspension bits will do ten years though easy. In my experience cheap pattern parts don't live anywhere near as long.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.
