Control arm quality - FCP Import?
Control arm quality - FCP Import?
I just bought my 2002 Civic this weekend. I took it to a shop to get checked out before I bought it and they said I need new lower control arms and ball joints up front. I have found them at several places on the internet (Amazon, 1A Auto, etc) for around $50 per control arm and $25 per ball joint (~$150 total). But today I found a place that used to be a sponsor here on this forum called FCP Import. they sponsor a bunch of Civic forums. They sell a kit that has the control arms, ball joints, and also has the stabilizer bars, and tie rod ends for $91. The brand says OEM or other brands I recognize from other sites, but that just seems too cheap. I've been burned before by "too good to be true" bargains.
Is this place legit? Are those FCP parts crap quality? There is no way the MSRP of the OEM part is $29. The Dorman on Amazon MSRP is $100. I just don't get it...
