  1. Audi Spares off EBay??? 
    #1
    nichollsa4 Guest
    Hi,

    I need a lot of suspension arms replacing on my A4. There are a lot for sale on EBay which are obviously not OEM. Does anyone have any experience of the quality of these parts?

    I could save myself a lot of cash but don't want to regret it by buying some dodgy chinese casting that will just snap on me.

    Thanks

    I always say... buy cheap... buy twice..

    Rather than ebay... do you have any local car trade suppliers who do non OEM aftermarket ones??

    Where abouts are you from?

    I live in West Midlands, near Walsall.

    I was going to give Eurocarparts and GSF a ring but if you have any other suggestions they'd be appreciated.

    thanks!

    i totally get you on this one, but what i've found usefull, is to phone up a few spares places, ask them for quotes for the relevant parts and then ask them what brand they use, you're well entitiled to ask, then i've trawled ebay and found the same brand, but often at a much reduced price.....

    howzat?
