RA40 front end kit...good Idea?

[Jusepi]

Hey people,

I should start off by saying i'm in the states atm and have been picking up a few goodies for my RA40 back home (hope customs are cool with me going through airport security with all this ).

Anyway, I read in another thread that aftermarket bits and pieces for you car, particularly suspension, is a case of buyer beware.

So, a couple of quick questions,

1. Has anyone heard of this brand? (link below)
2. I am concerned about fitting the ball joints in particular, should I just see if I can get some genuine items? I think this is doubtfull as most components for the RA40 are discontinued.
3. And finally any advice on what I might be able to pick up over here? parts are very cheap. I am looking primarily at handling upgrades to suit the ra40.

My current setup is

1981 Ra40 with 18rg/c hybrid with twin DC45 webber side drafts with full exhaust.
It also has aftermarket Kmac swaybars front and rear with very bloody wide wheels (all engineered of course).

Electronic ignition might be something else of interest?

Anyway, here's the link for the first mentioned items.

dunno where you heard that all this is discontinued but you can get all that stuff here man just go to any autoparts shop

you wont be able to get that stuff here as cheap as it is on ebay tho

ask them where the ball joints are made?
they are probably just shipped in from china at lowest price perhaps?

some things are worth going for a reliable brand, but the bushings etc, will still probably last for a little while.. you cna probably get them thru superpro etc in aus
