Quote: Actually went out on the front porch and they came today.. kinda bummed. looks like something droned up in the hardware store in the nuts and bolts isle. I could be wrong. Ive never seen anything different. I just figured for the minimal drop id like to have $150 is a steal. We'll see i guess??

Still worth the trial..
I wouldn't have expected anything less, it's a SUPER simple mechanism. I'm surprised no ones made them on this forum and posted it as a home-depot mod.

How super simple are we talking? Enough for someone to make it themselves?

in short...yes. I searched and found all the necessary hardware online and could have just made them, but for $300 that I paid for them, the hassle wasn't worth it for me. It's essentially just a tie rod with joints on each end connecting with bolts. I think the total cost I calculated to make all three was in the realm of about $93 using some high quality materials.

No, links removed.

Yeah, with the elm it rides like stock, and even if you really low it still drives good but gets really hard. Im very low but goes back to stock hight above 40mph, for two reasons, 1) the roads here are crap and 2) my tyres dont get destroyed.

yeah those are pretty much it. Except those look slightly nicer. The actual "bars" are just all threaded, but the "heads" are the same. Those look a bit more substantial.

I just installed the links. Front ones were a piece of cake. Rear was a PITA. Might be too low. What do you guys think?

Sorry for the cell phone pic, I'll take more after I wash her tomorrow.

word of advice, keep the front of a the car just a tad higher than the front if you plan on slamming your rides. Trust me, the camber/toe wear and rubbing on the a-arms will eat your tires away within a month and get an alignment asap,my toe was off once lowered. I learned the hard way when my tires went bald 3weeks after I bought them

Now the price is up to $170 shipped from Canada. Wonder if he will still do the $130 offer. Found a local indy that can do STAR lowering for $130. Still trying to decide which route is better.
