We ship usps global priority to Canada are are "friendly" with duties, but it depends on how long CA customs holds onto the parts. Some go thru in a day, others they hold onto for a week and I have to call USPS to expedite. Usually its 5-7 business days.

how long will these last untill they need to be rebuilt?
"On your mark, get set, terrible"
Premium Euros - I do custom work (air installs, coils, notches, etc)
#41
These will last quite a while before needing rebuild. If you drive in corrosive environments we suggest buying them with the boot kit to further protect the heim joints
#43
Guys sorry for slight delay shipping next batch of A4 upper control arms.
They have revised the inside bushings a bit to facilitate the dust boot installation. They look even better now, I will have pics shortly.

Good to hear!!
We actually worked with alignment techs when we developed these . Since you can lengthen/shorten the arms with both ends connected to vehicle (simply by loosening the jam nuts and spinning the center body clockwise or counterclockwise), its makes alignment VERY easy. Of course that means they can charge less for the job right ?
Glad you got them now lets see install pics!!![]()
#47
Or the opposite problem, because they give you all 3 axis of adjustment they become a fun job to align properly which is why I would always tell people to take it to an alignment shop to get it done right![]()

I guess you are one who believes everything they see/read/hear then as well.
If that's the case I got a nice piece of land in the Florida that you need to look at
So your trying to tell me that if I went to a dealer and paid $200 for a part, it would be better than the $100 I get charged for the same part from my parts guy?![]()

Holy crap. Try to keep up. I know you have the mental capacity of a sedated tree sloth but try to comprehend. Maybe this comparison will work better for you since you think that sterns and these are one in the same. Say you go to the shoe store and there are two entirely different sets of shoes, but both made for your feet. you have your heart set on the british knights that are cheaper in every way, but the nikes have more R snd D and more quality and are more expensive. You, of course knowing quality when you see it, snap up the BKs in a heart beat to match your acid washed jeans.
#58
I thought name calling was done in Grade 1 or 2??? I know you are, but what am I?
I am glad you believe that your overpriced Sterns are better, but there is no need to try to belittle the product of a great forum sponsor like Gruvenparts.

I am not the only one who believes sterns are better. But they are hardly overpriced. 400 for these seems ridiculous. Sorry if I am looking out for other people wanting to buy an inferior product. Just because they are a forum sponsor means they can't be criticized? What's next? Angel eyes or blow off valves? Do you shop at NAPA? Hey its not my money, go ahead and buy these.![]()
#60
you can continue to believe the sterns are better as long as you want, but you might want to find out what you are criticizing before you start spouting off. These control arms are stronger, more reliable, less prone to wear, easier to adjust, lighter, cheaper......
How many times will you be replacing those ball joints in the outer joint because of the exact same problem stock control arms have?

Ill let you know how long they last for sure. Especially with lapping/track days. I hope you dont want dust boots on these. Ups the price about 80 bucks. I dont know, but70 bucks doesnt sound like much of a huge savings.
#64
The dust boots are a worthy upgrade, especially for those driving in corrosive environments. We buy them from a racing supplier, they are the real deal. And you need arms like a gorrilla to install them. You should meet our guy who does itI think he could break rocks by hand now after booting up so many of these things.
#65
Happen to have any sales on these coming up in the near future? I think it's about time I got rid of my pesky camber.
#66
Send me an email, let us know what all parts you want. Im sure we can work out a discount for ya
