    Ebay suspension arm kits

    Can anyone comment on which ebay 6pcs rear suspension arm kit to get? Are they all basically the same? Godspeed is one, JDM parts is another. Most are priced around 3-350. Thanks!

    I bought the Godspeed one in red and with my wheels and tire combo it seems to fit fine.
    rear tires/wheels are 255/35-18 on XXR 18 x 8.75's
    I think I paid $225 a year ago.

    Godspeed owner here... had to trim down the bushings, they are slightly too wide for the FF5 suspension pickups. Also had to get 8mm spacers. He wheels I have (from an old WRX; not much wider than stock) had interference issues with the trailing arms.

    Like Harley, paid $225 last year. If I had to do it over again, I'd look into another source since the price differential now is less than last year, and I think Wayne's parts fit a lot better. Also, I think FF5 started offering lateral link kits with really nice hardware (matches the upper link).

    I ordered the adjustable lateral link offered as an option from FFR. It is a very nice piece. It is only the rear lower link though, but not sure you'd need a front lower adjustable link. And of course, there is no FFR option that I'm aware of for an adjustable rear control arm. Wayne's version is what I bought.

    I bought the Ebay ones and sent them to Wayne, for a total cost of ~$350 (trailing arms and links, with shipping and money to modify them to Wayne). I think it's the same thing you're talking about. If I had to do it again at this point I'd buy from Wayne Mine are close to fitting with 17x9+35 wheels and will fit with Wayne's modification.
