    Ebay Control arm kit. opinions please.




    Seems to be a decent deal, and this old car is in some dire need of all of these parts. Opinions?

    I've used a similar set up before with M3 CABs. The sway bar links packed it in pretty quick, other than that for what your paying its a good deal. The stuff I got was Karlyn stuff made in the US.

      Please refer to....


      What Karlyn parts were made in the US? Most every part I've ordered from Karlyn is from our Asian neighbors, though Karylin does get crafty with their labels, in the same way Febi does (Box says Febi of Germany [ then somewhere else shows "made in china").

        I've been running an ebay setup similar to that for 4 years now sans CABs. I've had a similar experience, where the end links and associated rubber fall apart in about 6 months, but probably remain good for about a year. The rest of it has held up well enough, but it's nearing time to replace as the rubber is starting to go.

        Note that my E30 hasn't been a daily driver for almost 3 years. It has probably seen 30K miles in those 4 years, so these are certainly not of the same quality as a good OEM part.

            I've got a set of ebay control arms to sell if anyone's interested. PM me with interest. They're brand new, I never even opened the box.
