Which Control Arm?

[phatjames167]

I'm starting to shop for control arms and I first came across my first link below but then came across the second. I plan to eventually be lowered with a JHM stage 1 tune and possibly stage 2 later on. All my car is a daily driver I just want a little more go to make the drive to and from work a little more fun.

For a daily with a tune which control arm kit would you recommend out of the two links I have or suggest another kit.

Meyle HD if you care about quality...

They used to be excellent but the quality took a major dip since they outsourced them to China. Dont get me wrong, there's quality items being made in China but I think they might of lowered the quality control at the same time. If I'm not mistaking they used to be made in Turkey.

Every single box in our warehouse says "made in turkey"...

I bought the Meyle HD kit and it said made in Turkey on the box, once opened some bags had made in China, some had made in Thailand and some made in Turkey. The ones made in China have been replaced 40kkm later with Lemforder because the boots ripped and they strated to clunk. The rest is still solid.

How's the warranty? Can't really beat lifetime if you're gonna have to change them out later on anyways.

5 years... had them on my car for 7 without a single issue on a bagged car. Lifetime warranty is really cute but if you have to change them out or god forbid pay someone to change them out for you then you'll be paying more in the long run. Make sure you read all the fine print in lifetime warranties... just saying.

To get the lifetime warranty from FCP, the parts need to be installed by an ASE cert. tech, so that won't do any good for most of us..

Where is this mentioned? I'm checking the two pages I've found about warranty and returns and nothing mentions this. Most of it is just saying if the buyer is ever unhappy they can return it.

They must have changed it, sorry! That was my last understanding of the warranty back when they started it.

Not true at all. I've sent a lower back to them and had it replaced after a boot on the ball joint ripped after a few months. They honor the warranty just fine and I installed it my garage.
