i was looking at that set last year

[imi]

How much would OEM parts set one back?

[fastcar]

I don't like the look of that to be honest

[Dnk]

Their very cheap, i wonder how good the rod ends are ?

 

Aurora 1/2 unf with a 3/8 bore in high strength alloy are around £50 each so i guess

your not getting them

[dude]

He does say 'proven' pillowball mounts, may be worth asking the spec and in what way are they proven.

[ManwithSupra]

I had a look at these about a year ago.

 

Tried to find out the actual manufacture of these items.. had no luck,

Tried to get some info on people that had bought them... had no luck,

Tried to find out who made the pillow mounts... had no luck,

 

Steer clear mate, If they are cheap then there is a good reason for it.

i agree you get what you pay for

I would go for somthing like Ikeya there alot more expensive but are well known and tested

[wile e coyote]

I also looked at these, did not like the look of them and seemed too cheap

[Jellybean]

Do Ikeya Formula have poor quality rose joints; remember reading it somewhere

 

I think full OEM new is around 4K just for parts, I think Ikeya is a little more 4.5-5K euro's

Got a link to them? Edit, I see the link now.

Just points of note....

 

It would seem the ball joint bits are replacable seperately

The steel (presumably) construction might weight more, but could partly explain the cheaper cost

Unless i'm mis-reading there are no lower arms at all included so not quite as cheap unless the above comments are taking this into account?

I contacted the seller to ask for more information and all I got back is this below!

 

I actually found the link to his ebay page on a New Zealand Supra forum site; a British Supra owner was asking the guys there if anybody had any feedback the best reply was of somebody's friend that bought the kit for his R33 Skyline he said his friend never said anything bad about it so could be no news is good news.

Cheers
