Just want to share some infor related. Nothing against Halston's sale, or any product made in China.

I was in need of such a pair of lower control arms and ball joints (on tension strut rod) a few weeks ago. I asked a question for the eBay item 350324712701. A FCP Rep was quite nice and answered my question very professionally and up front.

Here is the answer:

I then asked for a price quote for Lemforder and Meyle parts (control arm and ball joint) but I didn't hear her back. Searched their website but nothing showed up. I couldn't wait for too long; so I ended up with the followings from rmeuropean.com after some research. Pair of arms and pair of ball joints, all Lemforder, cost $290, free shipping (any order above $65).
