No real comparison for you, but look up who makes the parts for porsche ... TRW.
Does that mean they are exactly the same? No, but the quality its probably pretty damn close. So maybe TRW is 90% of the OEM quality for 25% of the price... I always go with TRW when that's the ratio.

It was my belief that TRW and Porsche OEM are the same.
It took 6-8 months waiting for TRW inventory to finally be available to replace my front lower control arms. This is going to be your biggest problem with TRW is availability
Seems maybe TRW is limiting what they sell to the public and supplying it to Porsche because there was never a shortage of $450 Org Porsche lower control arms. Maybe their in on the extra $$$
