Unhappy Can't find UrS6 parts - help

The part I require are:

Anti roll bar bushes x 2
2 track control arms (with bushes inserted)
2 Rear subframe mounts
Handbrake cables (or just N/S cable if same as saloon cables)
Rear discs and pads

I'm having real difficulty sourcing these parts.

I don't mind buying from the continent if I need to.

Any ideas?

Having just bought one....I didn't need to read this. Are things an issue then or is it just sourcing parts that's the issue.

having real difficulty??

where have you been trying?

most of the parts you list there are easy enough to get hold of.

Andrew pages for instance sell all the febi/bilstein/lockheed replacements at decent prices.

Most(if not all) of the engine parts are generally OE from audi/vagparts only

Quick update chaps and chapesses.

Found parts, used Peter from Quattro Corner.

He was V. Helpful and very reasonable with price.

Andrew Page and VAGparts had some parts sourcing issues and their prices weren't the best, but no such problems with Peter.

To quell worries by the new UrS6 owner above; there are no real problems findng parts, no, if you look hard enough (which I didn't do initially).
