Price is rite, but are they any good ? I now the frase "You get what you pay for". But maybe I can use this on a mild streetcar ?
Thanks

I can get you a link for those arms for $345 but they had problems in the past but they say they fixed all of the problems, so I bought a set. everything that was wrong LOOKS fixed from what I can tell. We will see.

The question is "Have you run them hard for a few thousand miles?" Merely bolting a part on only tells you that it bolts on.

I agree, when I sail it into turn 1 at 80 mph, I want to know they have been tested. That costs money. That's just not the place to save a buck IMO.

iirc youth pastor had those on his car and they broke from street driving (ie- heading home from a car show)and the car had never even been driven hard... people now claim that they fixed any problems they had BUT i really doubt they did any testing on them to really be sure of that...

It was those same arms. Not a good part to gamble on. For a few bucks more Speedtech can set you up with proven parts and great customer service. Call them direct or Justin or Jon at Driverz Inc and you are on your way.:cheers:

Thanks Eric! DutchSS, give me call at the shop tomorrow and I can help answer any questions you might have. Speed Tech offers quite a few options and as far as bang for the buck, they can not be beat.
This is their Pro-touring Package. It includes QA1 coil overs and tie rod sleeves but upper and lower control arms can be ordered individually.

Thanks for your input guys. I desided to wait and save a little. And then go for the real thing.

In the long run you will be glad you waited and got proven quality parts. Speedtech is great and many sets are out there getting hammered on without any troubles. Justin will get you st up when you're ready.:thumbsup:
