Control Arm Brands
« on: June 19, 2008, 11:15:14 PM »
There are two ebay stores that sell control arm and bushing kits at pretty low prices.

   
deutschepartsusa sells parts made by "Hamburg Technic"

FCP Groton sells parts made by "Karlyn/STI"

Anyone know anything about these brands and whether they are decent quality? My car is a daily driver and not in show room shape so the very best parts are not really important. I just need something that won't bust on the highway.

Thanks

I'm wondering the same thing. With control arms going for $79.95 at Bavarian Autosport, why should I pay nearly twice that much from some of the other popular vendors?

I bought a pair from FCP.

I can't remeber what brand they are but they were made in Germany and looked just the same as the ones that came out of my car.

So far I have not had any problems (coming up to 1000kms now).

I would recomend them for trading with.
