if you have ever made the mistake of buying cheap parts with cheap rose joints that f##k out after 5-10,000kms and get really sloppy and noisy, you would value quality, and not buy cheap crap.

Having said that i do not know the quality of Just Jap Suspension parts.

they are more than likely locally made with some parts being cheap taiwan/chinese stuff.

FWIW i bought a paid of rear camber arms from Just Jap, installed them, drove round the block then jacked car up again to retension all fittings and i noticed not one but both arms had cracked in crutial points in their welds...

Horrible products and even worse customer service... i got my money back in the end but not after being labled "an arsehole customer" and a hell of a wait.

i for one wont ever EVER recommend them

Dont skimp on suspension bits. If a stock arm can fail, I have no doubt that a cheap aftermarket arm can fail. If you're doing pretty high speeds on a track, your suspension is definitely something that you dont want to fail... :)

I can also back the SK groupbuy stuff. The shocks are amazing and they work incredibly well with the other things. If there was anything I was to recommend, it would be the SK groupbuy.

So you have had stock arms fail too? MY rear upper arms yielded around the bush. Giving me interesting geometry and causing the wheel to rub.

Scary thing is i didnt really notice to drive the car except i heard the rubbing. When i got to where i was going i checked it and saw the arm giving way. Good thing it happened when it did as the next day i was going to a Motoconcepts Eastern Creek day.

So late night by BD4s replacing the arm and welding gussets to both left and right arms to stop it from happening to my current set.

So std or aftermarket it can happen.

So rather then just right off one option, i woudl firstly ask what you are hoping to get from putting in susp stuff? You want it to feel nicer on the road. You want it to handle better? You wantt o fix an alignment issue sinc eyou have lowered the car? You want to track it ???

looking for tie rod ends, small rubber boot has split and also need the bushes on the swaybar mounts. the mounts/links on the end of the swaybar are also looking pretty dodgy, gotta chang it.

the other thing they had was engine damper kits.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
