desperate control arm help

[waxdnuggz]

okay so i got an amazing deal on a full adjustable suspension from a guy on CL. well needless to say its missing something. the front control spacers that fit in the heim joint that conects to the frame 1 arm has them the other doesnt what do i do?

Post some pictures?

Go to a machine shop and get new ones made.
If one side has them, and the other side doesn't, they just need to copy the spacers from the side that does.

ill try to get some pictures up
there godspeed front lower control arms its the heim joint alignment spacers that fill out the gap where the stock bushings sit

ive taken the spacers to a machine shop they want 85$ for them to make a pair which i think is a little steep when new arms cost 208$

i tried calling godspeed 4 diferent days at least 5 times each day and no one will answer the dam phone

i know everyone is gonna bash god speed but like i said i got a hell of a deal

[SX APPEAL]

It's not a hell of a deal when they break after 10K miles and leave you stranded on the side of the road or worse. I bought some used but never installed godspeed rear lower arms for my car (got a hell of a deal )and the sight of those welds scared the s*** out of me, never will I install those on my vehicle.

when i say hell of a deal i mean crazy deal.
i paid 650 for new never installed godspeed rucas,rlcas,f/r sways , front ca's , tensions, tracs and toes along with the red coils. new factory nissan 5 lug conversion already mounted to s13 knuckle with new oem bearings r32 alum calipers new itb stainless lines new ebc drilled and sloted rotors and z32 wheels with 90% tread i literally could not pass that up.

and honestly the welds dont look awful there not the best but the bead is solid and clean the only problem i see is the joints look a little cheap

[SX APPEAL]

I would still keep the brakes, knuckles and wheels and ditch all the godspeed crap. Honestly it would still be a good deal if those were the only items you got for the $650. As bad as I feel telling you to dump that s*** off on some other poor shmuck, you could probably still make your money back selling all the godspeed parts. Then you could get started on some real suspension.

haha ive thought about selling the front and rear lowers to fund my 1jz swap drive shaft im hopfully trading my project 80 corvette shell on thursday the 13th for a 1jz r154 swap minus mounts and driveshaft and swap harness but id like to keep the coils and other crap for now just so its not down for a longer time plus its sitting on some garbage sagging ebay springs and blown shocks that the previous owner cheaped out on. so many decisions
