He says that they’ve been using the alternatives for years with no issues.

I did it on my drive using a jack and axle stands and even managed without to do it without removing the rear wheel arch liner.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all. Got the car back from the Indy after filling new air on pipe which had corodeo through and rear coffin arm has gone apparently and a bit of play in the tusing fork part as well.
Has anyone used Mylye Suspension parts over OEM?
Do they fit as well? (Have seen some "noise” around not being able to "track” properly after fitting)
Apparently they have a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty?
Is it really a job for the competent mechanic (without a lift)? Or better to pay the Indy (£70/hr)
Are the fronts or backs any easier?
Car is an 2002 car so maybe orginal ones (119,500 miles)
Thanks for any comments.

I've used a combination of OEM refurb, Eibach and Meyle. Meyle is based in Hamburg and would expect good quality over unbranded.
Front - OEM coffin refurb, Eiback fork with Meyle tie rod. (this combination should ensure I get within spec)
Rear - OEM coffin refurb, Meyle fork, rear track and upper arms (camber and toe should not be a problem with new eccentric bolts)
I believe there was 'hot air' on forums with Meyle, but suspect this was an early batch several years ago. No issues fitting parts.
Both front and back present issues on suspension in general. It is likely rear bushes have bonded to inner eccentric bolts; if they have then these will need to be cut-out. I dropped the rear subframes as I didn't want to spend 4 hours each side hacksawing in a confined space.
A competant diy mechanic can do the job with a jack and stands. You can see my work here

Ive fitted Meyle coffin arms all round, done a couple of years ago followed by set up at Centre Gravity. No issues with initial installation or performance so far.
I’ve spoken to my Indy about the replacement of the arms and he says he thinks the quality of the OEM arms has deteriorated over the years and doesn’t even use them anymore. He says that they’ve been using the alternatives for years with no issues. Still £187+VAT but the saving on each equates to an hour‘s labour.
I have just fitted 4 upper control arms and 2 fork arms with Meyle ones at the rear on my 996 turbo. It takes about 2 hours per side. I did it on my drive using a jack and axle stands and even managed without to do it without removing the rear wheel arch liner. There are little tricks to make fitting the fork arms easier - when you are fitting the new arms, the bush end to the subframe will be stubborn to fit but if you jack the brake disk up slowly while you wiggle the end, it will slip in easily at one point. Make sure you only torque the bolts up with the brake disc jacked up to mimic the car being normally loaded. Now my car has finally had the whole suspension replaced. I saved some money 2 years ago by not replacing the 4 rear control arms and forked arms but really should have done it since I spent nearly £5000 and replaced everything else.
