Cusco, Kazama, Tanabes....
i used all of them before and currently use Tanabe arms/swaybars/coilovers....all awesome quality/contruction...the welds are nice, the adjustment bolts are convenient...the rubber dust boots are a bonus, the ball joints seem to be very high quality and havent had any noice complaints, no fitment issues.....ALOT better than most of the "US" brands....Although SPL parts are extremely high quality as well

I like power trix new line of parts. They are cheap and feature teflon ball joints.

I like ebay hoo-has. I got RUCAS, bump stear, and toe rods all for 200 shipped. The RUCAS are the solid circle design to, which I feel is a plus.

what kinda prices does SPL offer. I bet the RUCAS alone are like 2 beans, right?

I'll just make an echo....

Kazama, Nagisa Auto, Cusco, Tanabe are nice, all the above are beefy. Buy anything else and you're getting what you pay for, i.e squeaky crappy bushings.

SPL has good price and good reputation as well. Their website will tell you prices.

Jdm Nismo is pretty streetable. Nismo here is weak and dosent make arms or anything worth buying that you can get from somewhere else better.

I do not like Tein as much after seeing other "High end" Japanese companies. Kazama and Tanabe get the nod from me.

i installed a full set of yanak(sp?) rear arms on my buddy's s13.. decent quality.. BUT.. i was only able to dial in -.8* camber at max in the rear.. he is on tein s-techs currently and will be moving to kts coils soon.. and i know when the car is lower more camber will come.. has anyone else ran into this problem of not enough negative camber with _____insert brand here______ ruca?

Thanks for the responses guys. There's definitely no shortage of arms for the 240SX, and everyone has their own preferences for price and ruggedness. We ask because we are the US importers and distributors (we provide most of these parts to the shops you go to) and are representatives for both Kazama and Nagisa Auto.

Sometimes people request us to bring in the Nams lower control arms for the 240sx, but is anyone using it?

If any of you guys have any questions, about Kazama or Nams parts, feel free to ask us, we'll be more than happy to answer or ask them directly!

Kazama and Nagisa rule, the Kazama RUCA's can be substituted for a billy club in case you gots to beat someone down. BEEFY and very nice finish.

I've been patiently waiting for my Nagisa pricing :ahem:
