So i bought a multi-link suspension set from these guys awhile back to see how the fitment was.
Yes I know you guys are going to complain 'u get what u pay for', 'never buy from ebay' blah blah blah..
i know this..again, i bought this set to see how the fitment was. didn't say i was going to go race with it. consider that a disclaimer so don't give me stupid comments about it. with that said..
1989-1998 KA24DET Nissan Lower Control Arm 240sx S13 S14 S15 (http://www.speedyracer.com/suspension/camberkitandcontrolarm/1989-1998-KA24DET-Nissan-Lower-Control-Arm-240sx-S13-S14-S15)
1989-1994 Nissan 240sx S13 Suspension Control Arm Kit (http://www.speedyracer.com/1989-1994-Nissan-240sx-S13-Suspension-Control-Arm-Kit?filter_name=s13%20suspension&page=3)
The parts are pretty generic..i wouldn't call it 'beefy' in any way. Cheap paint.
Wouldn't recommend to use them for any kind of racing. maybe just simple daily driving.
Fitment-wise, they all fit fine for the most part...the rear tends to click a little when going over bumps. Im assuming its because the metal ball joints have nothing to 'cushion' itself...just a little annoying
(this is something u get in higher end products..).
As for the front...heres where it gets interesting...
the ball joint on the front lower control arms..don't work..they just lock up.
i linked the LCA with the knuckle and tried to move/rotate/do something with it...and nothing. this goes for both sides too.
i called SpeedyRacer's tech support. They said to see if theres any rust(i dont know why there would be because i kept these inside for a couple months and they were still brand new) ..there wasn't any rust. They then suggested to take the ball joint apart and try cleaning it and lube it up a bit to help it move around...still didn't work.
Now it's been a week or two later since I've tried to install them and I called them to see if they can send me a new pair and I can just return these since I never even got them installed and they just don't work.. They told me, since it's been over my 3 month warranty period, they won't replace them for me..
but suggested i buy new ones...(got to be f*ckin kidding me..)
I tried to let them 'redeem' themselves..but didn't happen.
so now I have a new set of Front Lower Control Arms that do not work sitting in the trunk of my car...
If anybody wants them, feel free to come find me and pick them up so you may use them for large paper weights..
oh and...DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SPEEDYRACER.COM OR FROM THE EBAY ID: SPEEDYRACERPARTS !!! :nono:
(this is just me venting because their parts are pretty useless, performance-wise, and they have horrible customer service. do what u want.)
