The other day i was on ebay and found a set a of upper and lower control arms for my mustang that were $175 dollars and the retail on them are $400 dollars, What do you think?

if you're really saving $225, i'd buy em'.

but personally, i don't trust ebay...

You can get good deals on eBay if you pay attention and just don't go buying anything that pops up. If you need them and have the money, buy 'em.

andrew_death200 · 04-21-2005, 02:06 PM

Hell yeah im going to buy them..Save myself a bite of money. :blkvnm:

Nighthawk · 04-21-2005, 02:07 PM

that depends on what control arms they are, the condition of them and such.

andrew_death200 · 04-21-2005, 02:08 PM

Ebay is tha shit thats were i bought my caster camber plates from.

andrew_death200 · 04-21-2005, 02:10 PM

O they are brand new...the only thing is that it does not say what kinda brand they are. o well it does not bother me all you are paying is for the company to put it's name on it.

that's so true...brandless anything sucks...just ask yourself if you'd rather eat a bag of delicioso Doritos! or a white bag of Mystery Chips with some fake flavorless cheese on 1/4 of them....or something like that.

I agree with the above statements... I was looking on ebay the other day for control arms just for the heck of it. I wouldn't trust the no name brands... you don't know what kind of metal they are made out of, quality of weld's, quality of bushings, etc etc.. who know's how good they will handle if at all compared to the stock ones, you get what you pay for! If you have to penny pinch on parts off ebay, etc you are in the wrong hobby!

Be careful Andrew. Sounds too good to be true. I picked up my X2C Motorsports upper and lower arms for right at $100 brand new. Look around and you will find some good deals.

andrew_death200 · 04-25-2005, 01:19 PM

I took a good look at the and i swear they look just like my dads ssm control arms, the only reason why i dont like them is because the bottem control arms rubs right aginst the rear end and they cause the welds on the rearend to break and my dad just got the rearend under his car rewelded. (caused by the control arms)

SSM arms also rip up tourqe boxes in Mustangs with decent power and traction. Another thing to think about.
