Has Any one used these control arms with good results??

They are so cheap I may just buy them and install for the hell of it. But dont really want to go thru the hassle if they only last a year or so....

You can get a pair of them right now for $160 shipped

read the whole thread. btw, the part number of the aftermarket parts are frequently matched to that of the OEMs they replace. this is done so that

a) you know where it's designed to go
b) so that you can find them when you do a search for the porsche part

just because someone tags a part with the same number as OEM doesn't mean that it's the same thing.
