Delphi brand f80 arms?

Anyone run Delphi brand? I'm having a hard time finding lemforder at my usual places, but Delphi seems available at all, assuming they're the same, with the m logo shaved off, but wanna double check with y'all. Thanks!

Have you installed delphi yet? How was it?

I plan to replace all rear 5 control arms with delphi due to the low price but quite hesitate about the quality.

I just ordered Delphi arms from rock auto for 324$ shipped for control arms and thrust arms, I don't see them being problematic and someone in 2 series group said they were great, I'll update this when Install them, it'll be a little while since I'm waiting on a back order for powerflex thrust arm bushings

I quite hesitate to pull the trigger for a whole rear delphi control arm until I saw reviews for Audi delphi conrtol arm in FCP website which very positive https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/aud...ecakit#reviews

Delphi makes pretty high quality parts honestly, I've really not seen any platform complain, apparently they have strict manufacturing guidelines
