How much did they cost, if you don't mind me asking? I got the Tein ones. I believe I paid about 130 for the set. Let us know how they feel! Those look beefy!

Megan makes quality products. I used them exclusively on my Prelude and will continue that loyalty on the 240 project.

Got mine on ebay from a guy called EBSTORES. Good prices, and his reputation is excellent. Price is around 120-130 + shipping, but I made a $100 offer + shipping and it was accepted.

The parts are well made, very thick, and easily adjustable with a good set of open ends. Should stand up to anything but stupidity.

I just completed a set plus Energy Susp Steering rack bushings. Reset the alignment due to the stock rods and worn bushings absolutely F-ING up caster and toe and I am amazed at the difference in consistent feedback and turn-in. The slush and float is completely gone. Make sure to use blue loctite and you will be good to go for a while.

Of course, I still have the stock struts and springs so the car has horrible roll, but this should be the first mandatory mod for anyone who is serious about performance.

I've had the traction links and toe rods on for about 3 months now, was under the car last week and everything is still in place and strong as ever.

well I guess for some folks, its whatever gets the job done.
Kazama Suspension for me. I'd rather save the bread and get top-notch.
