I too have sworn off Meyle.  They are cheap, but most of the time their
stuff doesn't fit quite the same or just doesn't last.  Unfortunately,
they're pretty much flooding the market with their parts to the point
that a lot of places don't carry the other brands due to the price
difference.  Everyone seems to buy on price first, quality second -
which is not my motto.

Speaking of TRW, anyone find a source for TRW rear control arms?  I was
able to source a set of front TRWs through Tim LeClair at FAP99.com
(excellent price BTW), but he hasn't  been able to get the rears through
his regular suppliers.  Maybe I'll just default to the Febis but would
like to get the TRWs if possible.
