Lifetime guarantee helps with the leery feeling i get from a brand I've never heard of and those LOW prices. I'm not interested in poly ends though.

Re: black path suspension

^^ aye i actually didn't end up buying these a member on here posted some lakewood ca's for sale and bought those instead. im still looking into a rear pan hard bar and sway bars. as far as the polyurethane bushings i have a master energy kit anyway lol so i would have changed them out. still though the price is tempting. i did have good luck with the brakes i bought on ebay though..

Re: black path suspension

Pretty hard to screw up welding a few tubes together. Once u make a jig and u can get the materials for cheap in bulk u can get pretty cheap on price.

I wonder on the tube type, thickness, size, and quality of powdercoating. But at that price someone should test them out. I paid alot of money for my UMI stuff back like 10yrs ago when no one else was in the game, guys now have it cheap with all the companies producing cheap parts like founders etc.

It's a lot easier to screw up than you think. Welding is a complicated process, especially on major suspension components that can be dangerous if they fail.
