Why do you think that would aneone need them for street use. Do es aneone
routinely break off controll arms. These controll arms are made of 
chrommoly tubing for strenght and are mounted to stronger subframes.
All together it is a stronger setup. On street car if you add these links 
and control arms you will end up with damaged subframe. Frank Sprongle 
can fabricate all that for you or purchase it from Audi motorsports after 
he stops loughing at use of all this for street. By the way Homologation 
papers can be purchased from FIA office in US for $100.00 . If aneone 
wants to bother I can provide phone #.
