It improves on your worn out stuff. Not really an upgrade more of replacement. Car not falling apart is a plus.

Actually everything in this kit is coming from Beck Arnley, they are huge in the aftermarket parts business and make a lot of my replacement suspension components. You can check their reviews but I have had great feedback on their components.

Correction. An additional 10% Off will be a LOW price! HA!

Who did you get the Factory LCA's from? $100 is a crazy price. I can build an OEM kit with Factory LCA's, Qsten (OEM) inner and Outer Tie Rods, and Sway Bar Links. Price point on that would be under $450.00 Still trying to find a website for QSTEN so we can buy directly. If anyone can find a website for them it would be helpful. I've been searching and can't.

well, actually, I got them for $80 off a buddy, but he got them from pdm-racing... found out he didn't need them and didn't want to pay for restocking, so he sold them to me.

but frsport sells them for 100 also

Ahhhhh Ok. These arms by PDM and FRS are not Factory, they are aftermarket and most likely comparable to what we are selling here. If you look at the bottom of the PDM link, you will see them listing the Factory Arms:

54501-52F00 S13 OEM Nissan Drivers/Left Front Lower Control Arm . . . MSRP $223.40 Sale $179.67 USD each
54500-52F00 S13 OEM Nissan Passengers/Right Front Lower Control Arm . . . MSRP $223.40 Sale $179.67 USD each

We are at $149 for the Genuine Nissan Arms and $43.17 for the Aftermarket (BECK)

Actually the Beck Arms would be $38.85 with 10% off

Wait... this works for both 4 lug and 5 lug spindles? 89 through to the 94?

I was under the impression that you have to use different ball joints for the post 1992 spindles

Awwww... This is like a two months too late for me. Let me tell people, who are considering, that is a nice deal on these parts combined.

If my hatch is in need, I might have to hit this up.

89-94 are all 4 lug (no S13 was 5 lug) and all the same for these parts.

I think I was the First Kit! if it was shipped to 83713 or 83646 (Can't remember where I had it shipped)

Price was too good to pass up $13X.XX after discount code.
