Can anyone share their experience regarding long term reliability of the Meyle Porsche control arms?

David Bagnall says:

Great video I did this on a 996 and it certainly looks like Porsche have made access to the bolts /nuts a bit easier on the 997 which hopefully will make it less hassle when my 997 needs a suspension refresh.
