I am going to be replacing all suspension bushes and arms front and rear shortly but I have had problems in the past with getting the wrong parts even when it says it will fit the c5 rs6.
Where's best to source all the arms and bushes I need.

Just replaced all the fronts on mine with these. Good OEM quality and fitted perfectly.

I had the rears done and just had the originals powder coated and the bushes replaced. It was rather pricey. I think the arms were Ā£800 each from Audi or some other ridiculous figure then and I don't think there were any rears on autodoc.
Has anyone got part codes for them?
There's a lot of stuff listed on autodoc now and some of the arms seem to do front and rear.

Phoned Awesome GTI for a quote on some powerflex bushes comes in at nearly Ā£1000. I have also emailed AutoDoc to see if they can price it up as there is loads of choices on the website and didnt want to get the wrong ones.

Be careful with the lemforder kits for the front. The lower arms supplied are not correct for the RS6. They are available from Autodoc, but need to be ordered separately.
What I bought from AD:
Front arm set 3553701 Lemforder
Lower arms 45958 Febi Bilstein (these are AD part numbers)
Make sure you confirm the part numbers are correct for yourself!

I use LLL Parts website for parts diagrams and numbers, have bought a few things off them in the past.
Audi tradition have a few things in stock for the RS6, but parts are thin on the ground for them

Out of interest, what was the issue with the Lemforder lower arms? Mine looked the same and fitted ok, since been 4 wheel aligned and all seems good.

From memory they are a tiny bit shorter (the non RS specific part number) , I'm sure I put them side by side and there was a noticeable difference.
But if yours has aligned up ok maybe its not true. The part number is different between the RS and the lower models, maybe it's the bush material rather than the physical dimensions
