Hamburg Technic??

[KillerCalypso]

I have HT solid rubber offset cabs. They have been on since august and they still look great.

HT is good stuff, and they are made in Germany.
I think all of the German brands are good quality including HT and Meyle. Some brand snobs dissagree but what can you do...

i don't recall people saying the hamburg technic cabs from FCPgroton were good, but i do remember several members saying the arms were fine and they had no problems. I will run oem lemforder M3 cabs, fwiw.

everybody's mentioning their arms are crap, same go for control arm bushings? When I was shopping, everybody said to buy from FCPGroton and I did and got HT CABs :(

Meyle arms aren't nearly as good as the OEM Lemfoerder arms. Meyle's been hit or miss with us, and not our recommended supplier.
We carry only the verified OEM products on our website and always the best quality components. Not just junk that's cheap and easily obtained.

No I havent used meyle myself. I had a friend who did, only to have to replace them within 6 months. Also I've heard from people with similar stories. Who knows they may be great and the guy I know screwed up the install or something, but I'm not going to use them.

Hamberg Technic makes shitty window switches. That's my only experience with them.

I thought that Lemforder was owned by ZF? I went to ZF's website a while back and saw that Lemforder was listed as a branch of ZF. Maybe TRW is an arm of ZF... :crazy:

So Meyle arms are crap? Hmm, they seemed just as good, and some places recommended them over Lemforders. I'll keep this in mind--I'm going to replace my control arms when I do my steering rack.

[MikesJo]

I'm guessing you've used meyle control arms? How long did they last you?

[Apex381]

well I know for a fact that meyle arms are trash

[MikesJo]

Why not just go with Lemfoerder or Meyle? I bought some Meyle tie-rods the other day, are they about the same quality as the lemfoerder ones? They look and feel fine.

[Apex381]

hmm so are trw arms any good? I just found them for 60 bucks so I'm going to guess they are crap.

[Mike@PureMS]

Avoid HT! They're garbage products made all over the world, mostly in poorly controlled and bad quality controlled factories.

Lemfoerder was bought by TRW.

Hamburg Technic is not recommended. I understand it is another Sout Asian product with a German name. Lemforder control arms are the only way to go. Especially if you track your car. Meyle is also a good product for bushings and strut bearings.

[Kilomph]

Didn't Meyle buy Lemfoeder? I know Lemfoeder went out of business.

[Apex381]

Hmm I was afraid of all that. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get the right parts!
