Rylan,
sounds interessting!

Will the bushing on all ends be the same size as OEM?
(just asking to make sure if I want to (or need to) replace them, I can still get spare parts)

Where did you get your pricing from? They all seem wrong.

go to new products, and find S2000

from the site, using current conversion rates,

the upper arms are approx:

75,000Yen = $615 US

lower arms are approx:

128,000Yen = $1051 US

Can you expand a bit on this for me? The loads are low relative to what? The offset is large relative to what?

Thanks!

why are you guys on my @$$ about the pricing?? those are just APPROXIMATE prices i converted from the website itself.

i did not mention anything like shipping, or any other fees, wait time, or in stock availability. that is why my orignal guess was ~$700US and ~$1200US

i also did not mention about custom fees or taxes so of course one would have to take that into consideration at all times

if you want to know the exact $$$ to 12838 decimcal places, call them up

anyways, has anyone here used these arms from them yet? feedback would be awesome!!
