Wow.

You have a better chance of getting your money's worth by going with the big brand stuff than going with cheap brands.

But no, because your broke ass can't justify going with the far superior product, you'd rather go with the 10 free ones & go through the trouble of continuously replacing it than having to deal with it once.

And in that one time instance, you would get rid of the any sound by lubricating the bearing. Crisis averted. Whereas the small brand bullshit, you'd have to worry about the arms snapping, bearings going bad beyond lubrication, or welds looking like stacked dog shit.

No part will last forever but why not invest in something that will only give you trouble once at most. Bad bearing? SPL AND PBM will replace it. Sub-par suspension arm with cheap bearings? Enjuku & other ISIS dealers will replace with the same sub-par arms.

Does that not sound fucking idiotic to you?

im pretty far from broke and im not paying dealer prices for my 240. just aint happening. when my evo needs work - it goes to the dealer and IT gets dealer parts. why the fuck would i spend that kind of money on peripherals for a 20+ yr old car? THAT makes no sense. now, as far as suspension and engine parts go - i buy what i need. i didnt look at cost at any time when i built my sr. i went with a cheaper intercooler because, its a fucking intercooler. lol
you cant talk this bullshit to me, ive been messing with cars for far too long. i buy what i need depending on if i deem it worth it or not. im not buying brand new dealer shit for my 240 - ever.

Um wait so why are you posting in this thread in the first place? You supported nothing of what you said in your initial post. As a matter of fact, you've actually proven my point correctly.

Aftermarket suspension parts are to improve the car's abilities, no matter how old the car. That's the sole basis of why people don't stick with OEM parts.

Why would anybody spend that kind of money on a 20+ year old car? Because it is 20+ years old. Have you seen how shitty 240's perform stock with those 20+ year old parts?

You would think with all the "tinkering" that you've done that you would know the difference between shitty parts & parts that actually enhance a car's abilities.

im sorry, i must have missed the memo that i need zoopremes permission to post in a thread. and i perfectly supported what i said - i will not buy things like starters, alternators, injectors - peripherals - from a dealer for a 20+ yr old car. suspension i wouldnt buy from a dealer either. you can get those parts from auto zone as well. will i buy them from there? probably not because i want more adjustability. i was comparing dealer warranty to parts store warranty - not like youre suggesting i said. if i was so worried about "oem" id still be rocking the ka - wouldnt i? you make no sense. read what is written, not what youd like it to say.

I'm speaking in terms of warranty as well. Just because I mention different parts, there's virtually no difference in terms of warranty policy. Do performance & quality not fall into the warranty?

Are you even aware of the warranty policy of the bigger brand companies? You seem to be biased with shitty parts that you forgot to look into that. PBM offers a few years for FREE replacement bearings. But if you've been maintaining those said parts, I don't see why you'd have to get them replaced. They are guaranteed to last longer as opposed to free replacement with inferior parts.

Now back to my post, why would you buy inferior parts that don't offer the satisfaction of non-slip alignment, quality materials, & adjustability that surpasses other inferior junk like ISIS?
