Alright I finally got around to getting the Meyle Control Arms put on and I got an alignment done right afterwards. I have been lucky over the years to come into contact with excellent and honest independent shops. So I do have to plug them whenever I can. When I lived in South Florida I was lucky to have Pedro @ Pedro's Garage and Miguel and Taylor at TuneRS looking after my car. Now that I moved a few hundred miles north to Central Florida (Orlando & Tampa) I am also lucky to have Harry at WestSide Auto Barn working on my car.

I pushed the box around the street and highway like I usually do and the Meyle's held up well. Feel free to check in with me for updates. I have used Meyle parts on the BMW I had and already had a few of their parts on my car so I feel comfortable with them. They are a lot less expensive than Porsche control arms and also less expensive than the TRW ones that seemed to be out of stock everywhere recently and that prompted me to check out the Meyle arms. The U.S. rep at Meyle was also excellent as he answered all of my questions. Meyle is a well established German company and the arms are made in China but Meyle does perform quality control inspections and provides a 2 year warranty. So the warranty is the same as TRW and Porsche and cost a lot less.
