Ebay front susp. kits

[David325is]

Has anyone had any experience with the control arm/tierod/CAB packages available on ebay? Is the quailty of these kits similar to what you would find at BMA or TMS? I am about to overhaul my suspension system and would like to save a few dollars where possible, but still get a reliable product.

I bought one of em with the m3 CABs, Ive put 2k on it with no problems. The shit is easy as pie to replace to me now so if I get a little less life out of my balljoints then so be it, I saved a buttload of cash (easily 100 bones) over BMA lemforder control arms, etc.

BMA takes a few days.

i was talking with Tim LeClair of FAP99, and he was telling me that even the Germans (lemfoerder) are using the chinese for casting. he sells a set of Karlyn control arms that he says are very good as well.

Are Karlyn's the ones on the Bay? I was under the impression that the balljoints were the weekspots on these "lesser" brand names.

Tim is the man . . .

The control arm itself, even on the cheapo ebay units, are cast steel and the odds of them being shitty are slim. The difference comes in the quality of the ball joints. As I mentioned above Ive only got a few thousand on em but theyve been holding up fine.

i dont know about the eBay arms at all. i order everything from tim, or bma.

Ive put 25k on my ebay control arms with no problems, but avod the sway bar links they are not worth there weight in steal.
