Lower control arms for my Bentley Continental GT
Where can I get quality OEM parts for my suspension in the USA?
I found two websites in the USA, bentleypartsusa.com, and alpineperformance.com, they sell the lower control arms for my vehicle but the brand is Top Euro, I'm concerned about the quality, any recommendations?

I'm looking to buy also the front CV axles, the Bentley originals are 1000 USD but I found the WV Phaeton W12 and Audi A8 W12 way cheaper, I know the rod is slightly smaller in diameter but any way they both should fit and do the work, but my question is which one is more suitable for the Bentley because I found they're different longitudes from one brand to another, have any of you guys tried these alternatives before?

Anyone find a place with OEM upper control arms? I'm having the hardest time finding them. I do know the original parts are Audi parts, I feel like that should mean they're on at least 1 Audi, maybe not but it would make sense.

You might also want to consider Jim Ellis VW. Their pricing seems pretty competitive on what I have seen so far. I have been comparing the parts from the Phaeton to the Bently on the front suspension. I recommend comparing Jim Ellis, Scudaria, Flying Spares and Bentley Parts USA, I have found that one or the other seems to have better pricing, but none are consistently the lowest when I was comparing them. I am getting ready to replace either the bushing or my front suspension once I get it all apart. When I was looking at the diagrams for the Bentley vs the Phaeton, the drawings are identical. THe one difference is VW has the bushings whereas I have not seen that on the Bentley sites.
For the upper control arms when I compared them, Flying Spares came in the lowest of all three of the sites I checked as of early August of 2022.
