this seem like a good deal for all the crap thats included. im thinking of replacing most of my suspension so im looking for something better than the crappy OEM but not too expensive. i know some one will say that u get wat pay for but there r some cases that ur just paying more for a brand name rather than the product.

Going to have to disagree with you on your comment.

Me personally "quality over quantity"

But it is your money.

Do what you will with it.

If you feel it's a good deal and its within your budget then just get it and try it out. If it works out fine for you then awesome. If not then hopefully you'll learn your lesson.

Get ready for the flame fest.

Exactly if you can only work with a limited budget then by all
means "ball on a budget" -Nappy roots.If you plan to keep for
a while or do any spirited driving then IMO wouldn't F-with it.
If you get em post up a update Gluck.

PS:That whole drift in the title thing...ughhh.

they are actually pretty good. i know someone who has that, and the front ones are way beafy. The only one that seems shady is the rear toe arm, seems kinda week, everything else is pretty damn nice! I'm thinking about this.... oh and he had them for over a year and drifts his car weekly.

New OEM stuff isnt bad compared to the 14~18 year old stuff thats on your car.

why the fuck do they put engine code's for suspension parts?!?!? wtf is up with some of these ebay sellers!?!!?1

ohh yeah just because you have an Sr none of the parts are going to work :loco:

if you want to be cheap, cool, do it. if the shit breaks or if you end up fighting with paypal... well thats just how ebay things go.

i wouldnt trust it but if your buying just to drive around i think they should be fine. show them off to your friends or something lol

hmmm... the closest name brand budget parts to these cost 750-800 for the set... these are extremely cheap in comparison... for me, i wouldnt want to take the chance of putting something unproven on my car that is so vital to the way it drives and safety.
a catback exhaust is one thing, all your suspension parts is another ballgame.
a weld breaks on your exhaust and it might die. a weld breaks on your suspension and YOU might die.
worth it to save 5-600 bucks?

There have been documented failures of suspension links either made by the same company or made by a similar company. The walls are something like .0134" thick.

Rod ends are crap, lock nuts will rust faster than you can believe, blah blah blah.

You should've searched, a thread like this comes up twice every week.

Have fun with them...

I learned.

C-tune heim snapped on me while driving.

Went to stock, then to JIC for 2+ years.

JIC's out and purchased the ones on the link that were sold right after with the JIC arms.

Now I have Cusco and SPL setup.

C'mon man...do it right the first time and care about your life.

If you can't afford the good stuff, keep it stock, they will outlast almost any other arm.

Save up and buy the great stuff.

Done and done... If you cant afford anything, keep the stockies... Save up for legit, tested, and safe items, instead of egay stuff that can end up killing you... If you really think these are good though, by all means buy them and make a review for them... But IMHO I would stay away from ebay for most things as much as possible...

I would have to agree. I'm secretly a big fan of Ebay stuff (ie, Freddy manifolds, oil caps, intercoolers), however i don't think i could ever rock those. Thats just way to scary to risk.

Good point, and I abuse the hell out of it.

AceinHole is using the same links I think. he likes them
Rod ends are shit - replace them if you actually want to use this stuff on your car.
"That said, the heim joints that come on the Motoria control arms basically suck. They seem to be high mis-alignment joints, with a taper at the neck that thins down to prevent a control rod at the eyelet from binding. We don't really care about that for control arms, so I sourced new heims from Midwest Control Products. Their DXTM metric series seemed to fit what I was looking for, and they were cheap enough that I could buy a full set just to have as spares (around $6 per heim)."

But if you actually spend 10bux on a premium membership you'd know all this.

I wish you luck and hope you don't end up killing/hurting yourself.

Do it right the first time. You may only be able to afford 1 piece at a time this way, but its alot better in the long run. If you plan on keeping the car for a while, you'll be better off buying the good stuff that will last the test of time, than buying the cheapies and having to replace them 3-4 times and end up spending more than you would have if you bought the good stuff in the beginning.

I personally wouldn't. I've learned through years of experience that going cheap costs more in the long end. Do it right even if it means having to save money for a while.

maybe a day?

Would you rely on that part? You get what you pay for, don't go cheap on suspension components...you may regret it.

G/l with you decision..

idk about you but ill pay the extra doller amount for name brand parts that have proven themselves..especially with suspention parts where if they fail you can be injured pretty bad or die...just do as every other smart guy would do and buy right the first time
