Id pay more money first to get something i know will last rather than having to spend more on something else if these don't hold up.

Thats my 2 cents.

[adrianfromthecastle]

as with all other ebay parts, its a risk. Its worked for some people, while its also failed for others.

[RCA]

THANKS GUYS!But it throws me off when it only cost $250 to purchase and it comes with all the suspention parts...

But would you guys tke the chance...These parts couldnt be worst then my 12yr old stock crap... RIGHT?

And "p1rat3"I laughed at that too. It was quite generic

would you trust them holding up on the freeway? it would suck if they fell apart while driving.

[Emperor_Tha]

do it......if it breaks just get new better one

Well what would fall apart? The hardware (nuts/bolts)?orThe arms themselves? They look quite sturdy =/What makes Cusco, JIC and Tein much diffrent? (I ask this because I dont know what it takes to make sus parts.)

Any one have some horror storys theads I could read?(SEARCH BEGINS NOW)

[Razi]

......if it breaks you might die

fixed.

crappy welds.

they are imitations of the name brand ones... and like any other imitation, quality won't be as well as the real deal (i.e. fake Jordans, fake Gucci, etc.)

sure I guess... but why would you want helical? vsld > helical

[skydragoness]

Good god, don't cheap out on such critical parts on your car.

Oh and FYI, an experienced race-car alignment shop has to adjust the bumpsteer of the traction rods. Screwing up the adjustment on those can seriously alter your rear suspension geometry.

[fourLUG_hero]

You get what you pay for. Some people slap on ebay parts on their cars and never have a single problem while others can't even get said parts on their cars. It's a risk, yes, but do you wanna risk your life or the life of your passengers if your LCA's break as you're going on an off-ramp ?

[RCA]

Allrightyy then!Well that sucks! Because I allready bid on um, so if I win I will put um on. When they explode I will make a write up...

And if some one out bids me (Ihope) I will start to shop/search for some other stuff.

And explain this VLSD/HLSD.I was told Hlsd > Vlsd

Also better then clutch type because its gears and the clutches wear out

[driftin8ez]

HLSD great for grip driving poo-poo for the dorifto. Then again VLSD aren't much better in that sense either.

Learn this lesson well man...

Spend less now = spend more in the long run

Spend more now = Spend less in the long run

Cheapening out over even 200~ bux total over something so vital whatever it is, suspension, brakes or engine will just make you spend double that in the long run... Sad part is most of us have to learn that the hard way...

[roplusbee]

Great points guys. I look at it like this, while a cheaper price may look attractive (I have been tempted to buy stuff like that also), you can bet there was no R&D or testing done to get you that price. I would rather save for another couple months and get parts that have been tested prior to me buying them, so that I am not the ginny pig.

All that said, the parts that you could prolly afford to skimp out on would be parts that do not move or have a critical role in safety/functionality. Not much there huh, lol. Hope that helps.

This is tru is you dont like traction. Im no drifter and I like my rear end going almost the same direction as the rest of my car =)

PS I won the ebay bid and I inspect the parts that come in and I will make a decision whether to put them on or throw them out

[gripstr]

Let us know how they hold up...

[97240via]

How about the megan parts? They do make suspension parts. I herd that their coilovers are "OK". But don't know about the rest of them.

[silnismo]

remember this line "CHEAP 240sx OWNERS END UP PAYING TWICE"

c'mon man their was a review on those are specifically a while ago, and one of the tractons tods snapped b/c of the thin A$$ sidewalls on the arms. plus they rust like no other.

http://www.poweredbymax.net

600 shipped for whole set, plus they MAKE their own rod ends. legit company. BTW these guys are all about supporting drifters and they have an office in cali. most of u probably know this from Z ilvia.net

[RCA]

Well the parts came in and I started to take them apart and inspect them. They are all apparently from a company called "Motoria". Dont know too much about them. And I couldnt find their website. Not a good start

When inspecting I noticed that every part is hollow except the rear upper arms. Is this the same way with SPL, Cusco, JIC ect?

Other them being hollow they look and feel sterdy. Also the welds are rows of nickels. But I still dont know what material these things are made of =/

ANY THOUGHTS?

[yokota180sx]

i can get all the Arms from Dmax for 450

[RCA]

hm. I am stuck with these for now.

SO Nice welds feels sturdy just not sure about hollow SUS. parts...

Nvr purchased sus parts before so IDK about "quality" parts feel like

Any takers?

[yokota180sx]

haahahhollow?

your gonna die

[RCA]

haahahhollow?

Yes its going to happen in a car too (I know it).But not any time soon I hope =/

SUS PArts -> <- Me

[roplusbee]

So how are they?

[yokota180sx]

your an idiot

[RCA]

So how are they?

Dout I am going to use them. But I am looking for a solution for them being hollow. Looking for some thing to filll them with. The first thing that popped into my head was expanding foam. They use it to insulate homes and it is wicked tough. It sticks like hell and is super hard. Any other susgestions.

your an idiot

I hope you dont mean that =0/

Oh, the irony.
