Fantastic price! But, I didnt see anything in the ad that says cpp. How did you find that out? By the way, I am a ebay rookie, I probably missed something.

It does not say what brand in the ad,but the box shipped direct from them...

By the time you buy performance bushings and ball joints,have your stock A arms...that might be bent...Powder-coated,get the bushing and ball joints pressed in,it's not much difference in $$.
Plus the geometry is improved,and these won't move around in the frame.They are also grease-able,others were not,so they will be quiet.

Ok cool. I didn't realize you had received the boxes yet. Thanks for the heads up.

The 6472 part numbers match the ones in their catalog,but the letters after them are different.I'm guessing these are the offshore made version.There are no markings on them.
The welds,fit and finish and general feel of them are excellent.I'm sure I could double my money selling them at a show...

I ordered mine back in April and was quite surprised to see the CPP labels on the box. Mine are installed and they work pretty good. The only recommendation I'd make is to put a 90 elbow grease fitting in the pivot of the lower control arms. Looks like it will be a problem to grease assembled.

I haven't had mine aligned yet as I just got it all together last night and I put the tall ProForged ball joints in the top to improve the handling even more.

I had SC&C provided Spohn arms and their tall ball joints for a while and they worked well but I really wanted a bump stop again. These arms were well made, nicely finished and CHEAPER than refurbing my lowers with new bushings, ball joints and sway bar bushings.

I'll post some pix of the arms installed soon...Just scored a set of new SSBC 2" drop spindles for $99 to avoid chopping my new springs up...
I'll pick up some 90 deg. zerks...I've had the same problem with front end parts.No way to grease them on the car with the fittings that are on them!
