Im using JIC rucas with no complaints, paid $120 for them I think, used. But they are all the same, just get whatever is cheapest but still uses high grade metal, alot of the really cheap ones use low quality metal.

powertrix carries some beefy suspension arms for much cheaper then all the "JDM" parts

and really arms are basically arms...

although if you can afford it, go all KAZAMA...cuz kazama is the coolest name

Actually Kei Office manufactures their own stuff. They have their own factory in Japan.
