Ebay suspension arms...

[Redline240]

Has anyone used the generic adjustable suspension arms off ebay? Usually i try to buy brand name parts but it's not always nessasary...some go under the name TCS or TC Sportlines, others are no names. But they all seem to be identical in design as the Battle Version arms that PDM sells. Albeit for a fraction of the cost...

Lower control arms i'm weary about, but tension rods, upper rear camber arms, traction rods, and toe rods are all very basic in design. Hiem joint, bar or tube, and a fixed mounting tab...

I've considered making my own, but for the price of these i don't see the point in tracking down all the parts. I guess if the welds were **** i could just reweld them...

Anyway, here's a few links...post your opinion!

Thanks, Adam

Just remember what happens if they fail... and then compare that to how much more you'd have to spend to get a "name brand"

I mean, don't get me wrong man, I aint rich either, hell, I'm a starving student on a ramen and mac and cheese diet... but when it comes to suspension or anything that can relate or possibly influence a crash... I wouldn't want to cheap out. Name brand companies have a reputation for a reason, they're backed with years and millions of $$ worth of R&D on the track. These chinese company "ebay brands" are nothing more than copies. Megan for example: I know a handful of people that ride them and have no worries so far, but every now and then I get poor feedback on their arms/ outer tie rods from other people...

its a gamble...
