as most of you know i hit a curb, already have replaced my tie rods with tein inner and outers, just need to do something about the FLCAs

im looking into three inexpensive options. The first is the PDM ones. They arent OEMs, but more of OE replacements. They look to be of good quailty, but i cant find what company makes them for PDM

its $95.24 plus shipping for these

my other option is the Beck Arnley arms from this website that has some pretty good deals

for just the control arms alone, like i would be getting from PDM, they are $43.17 each ($86.34 for both), plus they have 15% off sale going on right now till March 15th, but i wont have money till after then, so that doesnt do anything for me :(

and in case anyone needs to upgrade there worn out shit, you can get the whole "I hit a curb" package minus the tension rods and brackets for about $150, and this website has free shipping on orders over $99, plus theres 15% off. Thats fucking cheap

and theres actually a third option, which is from FRsport

They look pretty much identical to the first ones

For the money, the ones from FCP import look to be the better deal, but im wondering if theres gonna be any isues with quality, and how long this stuff will last? But for all i know these could be the exact same product on all three web sites. The ones FRsport sells seem to be indentical to the ones from FCP


anybody have any experience with any of these?
 
either way if i get a shell the FLCA bushings and ball joints are probably shot... the shit im spending money on is shit that i can transfer over to a new shell if and when i get one

and as much as i like coupes, the hatch was my realistic dream car when i was 12, and ive ALWAYS dreamed of a clean hatch with kouki tails <333
 
ur retarded you have no place to swap shells idk why you even thinking about it. and a new shell is new problems. stop being a girl and keep your car its too late to give up on it lol

Click to expand...

thing is if i can find a place to do it it would be worth it. Id probably spend less money on a new shell than to fix all the things wrong with my car

new hood, new bumper, new fenders, new core support, fix the rust issues, all the annoying ass water leaks, fix the passenger door not closing issue, fix the frame from that accident, the list goes on

not to mention i gotta swap the motor anyways


and the whole idea of getting a new shell is to get one without problems. One without rust, one with no frame damage, one that doesnt leak fucking water everywhere
 
Get the pdm I have them and they are sweet also have grease fittings on the bottoms of the ball joint
 
can i ask wtf grease fittings are lol

i got my pay check with more money than i thought, so if i order today i can still get the 15% off deal from that FCPimport website

they seem legit, but im wondering if the PDM ones will be better off if im going to beat the shit out of my car
 
how cheap are we talking?

from FCP import, i can get both controll arms, and both sway bar end links for $103 shipped... thats pretty cheap
