    Could well be an isolated case, as noted.

    Just so you know, Forge also do an alternative part:

    Home Page > Search > ES2550849 - ECS Tuning Inc

    I can probably arrange a small discount on the price of those.

    ECS also do the gruvenparts arms:

    Home Page > ES#2497384 Adjustable Rear Control Arms - Pair - Blue Color - 107GRVBLUE

    Again, I can probably arrange a discount for a group purchase.

    Finally, KW also have something similar - ECS don't sell them, but I know Preeny can...
    Nothing to see here...

    ECS's Shipping pretty hit and miss though. Wouldn't mind finding out about the kw ones though.

    I'd go for KW, the price is not too different and KW is a proven manufacturer. No point in getting something and then keep checking if they bent or having different issues. Not saying that KWs are perfect, but they have excellent reviews

    Oh, i guess so.

    You should check at every service anyway (not that I have had to) I only checked when it needed lubing.

    Gruvenparts has never had a bad name or have had a record of poorly built parts with a high failing ratio. Don't know why people seem to be writing it off

    Hi guys,

    I'm keen on a set of Adjustable Control Arms for my car.
    I'm sick of un even wear on the tires.

    I've been reseraching and reading alot of good review on the GruvenParts ones.

    Is this GB going ahead as I want a set sooner rather than later.

    Let me know peeps.

    hi guys,i sent an enquiry to venom Motorsports and the guy said (copied n paste)

    For the control arms we would need approx 5 or more to do a special deal.

    They have the KW adjustable control arms british pounds 217 + delivery this is the original price.

    Dont know if this helps us.Im over uneven tyre wear aswell.

    Luke (Back Door Shenanigans) just contacted me about this.

    Have you guys considered the KW units?

    RRP is $449.00.

    If you guys can drum up a reasonable order, I'll do 12% off and free delivery. You'll also have Australian warranty.






    Oh, and you'll be running control arms by a manufacturer that doesn't rag on everyone else's stuff in their description and consider aluminium "weak". Haha.


    Let me know. I've subscribed to the thread..
