Has anyone had good or bad experiences with any parts suppliers on eBay? I am trying to find out the manufacturers of the suspension parts listed in one suppliers ad. Sounds like a great deal, but as you know the saying if it sounds too good, watch out. Any info you guys have would be appreciated.

You may want to give the specific vendor from eBay. Many have dealt with many vendors in this board, specifically with the suspension parts, and there is a whole lot of input on this topic from other threads.

foreigncarpartsonline is one offering a complete front and rear suspension parts kit. jdmwerks13 and shocksandsprings both offer good prices on shocks & struts. I am mostly concerned with the brand names of the suspension parts in the kit from foreigncarpartsonline. All seller names above have feedback ratings of 99.6% or better. Thanks

I've order controls arms etc.. from deutschepartsusa....always a good experience with them and they over night ship when I need it but usually it's free ground shipping.

I've purchased a suspension kit from FCP Groton LLC and was really happy with the parts, no problems at all.

FCP Groton is a fine company to deal with , but those parts are junk and won't hold up like some solid Lemforder or even Meyle parts. I just don't think they have a good service life, they used to state they were Hamburg-Technic brand (please correct me if that has changed). So if you want your parts to last over a year, do yourself a big favor and contact All European Parts or Autohausaz and get some quality parts. Just MHO... P.S. If they won't tell you who made the parts, DON'T buy them.

I used FCP and cannot fault the product, service or price.

Purchased front upper control arms and they were sent to me in the UK and including delivery they were still 30% cheaper than collecting them from one of the cheapest UK suppliers.

Will be using them again soon as I need to do a little more front susp work.

Thumbs up from me!!
