Avoid Febi. Had both lower front ball joint boots fail within 15K and i'm certainly not the first to have it happen to them. Upper ball joint also did not last. TRW, Meyle HD (not plain old Meyle) or VW/Audi has been the way to go.
Mine is an 04 A4 and, like Zaab, up here in Salt-achusetts. Being lowered, its coming up on my list again as well. Prepare yourself for the worst with the pinch bolt; it sucks.
Don't try to cheap out on parts and tighten the bushings at ride height.
