I would like to hear from folks that have installed and run these for a while. What are your experiences and preferences of the above brands? I am leaning towards the Vertex with the stiffer bushing but I'd like to hear some opinions before I spend the $$
I haven't heard anything bad about the TRW arms. Deutsche Parts have a bad reputation if you read around the site. I bought OE as expected no problem PCA sent out 10% discount cards on parts and service in January last year good until April 2013 Really puts them in line for most items.
