Like the title says im in the hunt for a affordable yet reliable control arm kit... any recommendations? I was looking at the FCP Groton CA kit they got... so far cheapest ive seen... any one have experience with them?

I'm gettin my tein ss coiloves installed soon so i figure i might as well do the CA's too...

thanks for any help

 

We put those on Jiggleo's car last summer. They look plenty beefy and he's had no complaints that I've heard. I was looking them up this morning and found their kit for $215 shipped on eBay. That's the kit I'm going to order.

 

+1 to FCP, I put that same ebay kit you found, Devil, on mine last spring and it drives like brand new and I've had zero problems with any of the components so far, going through lots of fun, curvy canyon driving, city driving with potholes as frequent as gopher holes, and so far through this winter, no issues from moisture or salt so I'd say its a good buy. Are you looking at the full kit? I got all components; eight arms, two tie-rod ends, and two sway bar links for $250.01 shipped

 

yah im looking to buy the whole CA kit... what do you guys think about their rotors and brake pads? im was thinkin about buying them off performance-cafe.com but i think it ends up bein cheaper off fcp groton... Sucks that i dont have an ebay account... (BANNED) lol

But i taught i read somewhere that if you call them up and ask for them to match the ebay price... they will....?

 

A8s or gtfo. Someone said they're on sale at ECS. Seriously, don't waste your time on anything else.

 

yah i'll check them out... but for some reason A8 brakes just sound like a lot of money to me lol... whats gtfo?

 

I read on here this past week that ECS had pricing set up such that you could buy the rotors and carriers for $250 for slotted or drilled/slotted, rather than $299 as usual. Either way they're completely worth the money. Anyone here who has them will tell you the same.

And gtfo is "get the f*** out" lol

 

rtfm!

 

haha... I deff deserved that one... i taught you were saying the a8's or a different initialed brand...

I was looking around ECS and i cant figure out how to get that price... if its that cheap i would deff get them... any help?

 

I'll search through and see if it's still going on. You can get solid-face A8 brakes for $250 every day. If you want the slotted or drilled/slotted they're usually $299 - hardly a deal breaker for the increase the A8 brakes give you.
