Seems to be a great deal of difference in pricing, is there really that much difference in quality now?? Seeing as most of the kits look like they have come out of the same factory in china??

 

Ive seen them from £60 delivered on fleabay £120 from Japspeed and £200 from driftworks

 

Anyone got any opinions or experience or had problems with certain brands??

 

Cheers craig

I've noticed this too. The thing with the DW and Japspeed is the parts have been tested on there own cars so the know they product is suitable for sale.

 

Although they all look the same I suppose it all comes down to the wear and tare of the product which is why some are better/more expensive than others.

 

I know people with both DW and Japspeed arms fitted and are very happy with the product.

just looking at suspension stuff and for example take a look at the link below these look identical to the Japspeed ones

Godspeed are a fairly well known brand aren't they? I think when a company sells on Ebay for a fairly cheap price, it's more than likely because it's surplus stock.

 

I'd do your homework. Research the parts you are looking at buying and see what individuals are saying about them.

 

The DW 4 arm kit, Traction rods, tension rods, camber arms and hicas eliminator kit is only £500 and you can add the front adjustable camber arms for £160 I think? Maybe worth saving those pennies lol!

 

I plan to get the above plus the Meister R coilovers :) Not all at once!

ive got the front camber arms, full hicas eliminator kit and toe arms already so dont need the full kit, just need rear camber arms atm

I wish! What make is your other stuff? Is there a big difference in the handling?

Only one bit of advice..... If they are all poly bushed then remember the pics Jeff put up about six weeks ago about metal suspension mounting parts cracking because the shock absorbing of rubber bushed components had been removed and with the, albeit, firmer poly bushed suspension, road vibration and stress was being transferred to the mounting points, not being absorbed by the bushes... Just depends on what you are planning for the car I suppose

Well I havent really driven the car much but without the hicas you can definately feel the back end seems a little looser but that maybe that my car has much more power then before! its definately a major improvement, however i need to get a full camber set up done hense wanting the rear arms. But I would definately recommend it.

 

Ill be keeping an eye on the bushes to see how they fair, although mine wont be seeing any track use well not for a while anyway.

A valid point there :thumbup1:

I'll definately be getting it done. I think the handling of a car is so important, especially with lodas of power! Once you've had the proper set up done post a thread up to let us know the differences :)

Will do chap

i fitted driftworks kits to mine and very pleased with it.

 

dan.:biggrin:

we have them in stock, if we dispatched them today they would be with you tomorrow! :)
