Hey all,
I'm about to purchase a lower R control arm @ rmeuropean.com.
One manufacturer is: KARLYN $62.92 and the other is LEMFOERDER $122.68.
What's the quality difference between them? LEMFOERDER is OEM right?

Part# 204-330-20-11.

Thanks for the help.

Yep, lemfoerder is oem. Whe it comes to suspension, I would spend the extra for the lemfeorder. I have no experience with Karlyn...

+1 on the LEMFOERDER. Frank had the Karlyn fail prematurely on his car. Check his thread.

I have looked at a whole bunch of sites and LEMFOERDER seem to be out-of-stock.
So I bought TRW/LUCAS on ebay for $89. They cost over $150 in some places.

However, I read LEMFOERDER was bought out by TRW & that they make parts OE parts for BMW & AUDI.

Hope this will work out for me...although it should last (hopefully) for 1-2 years when i sell my car and I just drive between 650-750 miles/mo.
