    Hmm, seems like top shelf stuff.... No seriously, if you plan on keeping the car, I would steer clear.

      If youre on a budget buy one decent suspension piece each payday and stick them in your garage until you have a full set. Too much labor and alignment costs involved to run that stuff

          Go with the refresh kit from Blunt. I have one sitting in my room. I still need to install it but it's top notch and dude's awesome to work with!

            Avoid those, save yourself the pain.

            Check out blunttech.com or pelicanparts.com. Parts will cost a little more than the Ebay kits but they are well worth it.

                  300 miles is too early to determine whether it's good or not. Like others said, go with stuff from Blunt.

                      I just bought all of the same parts you listed, but from pelican. Spent about 300 shipped.

                        I did a lot of searching when I needed to do my control arms and found that lots of people had bad experiences with eBay control arms. A couple of people even had them break off while driving!

                              how about getting a good quality bushing and ball joint and have the shop to put on the control arm ?
