[s-cars] Suspension shit list

[Peter Schulz]

Cory:

I would be very suspect of the long term quality of the FEQ parts.
Without contrary evidence I put them into the Meyle category.

My experience has lead me to rely on corteco, boge, lemfoerder, TRW/moog only for suspension bits.  I've used OCAP rear links, but they squeeked and rusted quicky, not worth the money saved vs lemfoerder.
