I saw that yesterday. FCPGroton on the dreaded ebay will get you the entire kit with TREs for just over 200. This is one of the very few "forum approved" ebay items. Many have used them (myself included) without any issues.

There don't seem to be any FCPGroton control arms on eBay at the moment. I just checked, because those are going to be on my list of things to do this summer.

^^^agreed, I have them too. I'd get the whole kit. If one fails, the others are probably wearing out too.

Just so you guys know, FCPGroton isn't really an ebay dealer. They use Ebay to get their parts out there, but they have a regular website. The control arm kit is cheaper on ebay though; maybe they use ebay for overstock.

fcpgroton.com

They're located in Old Saybrook, CT.

Interesting. I didn't see them either. I wonder if they stopped using Ebay...

I bought the FCP groton kit also. So far so good. I'm a member of audizine, so I was eligible for the group buy price. It's still going on as far as I know.
