It wouldn't have been nearly so long in your case, Cheeseman, if you
hadn't
stuttered and sent the same thing twice. Is there no hope for you?
I have seen a lot of Ocap for BMW, particularly brake parts. Some
sites offer
Ocap rotors for the S4/6 but I don't know any users. I would go slow
and make
sure that is a rave and not just a rant. TRW has the best reputation
here for control
arms even though you have to search to find them and they cost more.
Because most
suspension parts have gone to China factories, and there have been
problems with
the rubber bushings separating from the metal sleeves, some on the
list will recommend
dealer parts only, especially for the upper strut mount.
The FAQ on quattroworld.com has a list of parts providers.
Genuinevwaudiparts.com
will be a necessary one since some parts are dealer only. This San
Diego dealer has
the best prices for these vehicles. Their catalog is one originally
sold to collision
repair shops and now offered to dealers wanting to sell online.
There are many errors
trying to use it for UrS4/6 parts, so you need part numbers or time
for the dealer to look
it up and respond by email.
