Saw these on their site last night, just wondering if anyone has any experience or info on them. I already e-mailed Courtesy and they do not use zerk fittings, do not come with dustboots and the arms are made of alloy.
I was just about to pick up Tanabe RUCAS to replace the 1st gen powertrix ones I use to have, then saw these at nearly half the price.
Anyone know who makes these arms for them? Gotta decide whether to risk getting a not-so-decent set of RUCAS again or just order the Tanabe ones.
Thanks

i would personally go with the tanabe's over that, much beefier and it comes with a dustboot cover. The ones from Courtesy is pretty much the same design as JIC or the ones from ebay

I thought of that, but a dustboot is hardly worth the extra 150$
I'm really not concerned so much about the welds or arm itself but more so on the balljoint. I don't want something that's going to creak and bind up in a couple months or require constant lubing.
It's a tough call, hopefully someone who has a set can chime in with some opinions.

I'd like to try the new powertix RUCAS (much better ball joints, I already grabbed the new version toe links) but there is no ETA on the s14 RUCAS and I need them soon.

Great, thanks for the heads up. I tried PMing Charles a few days ago but never heard back so I figured there was no ETA.
