    Sorry if I’m in the wrong section with this. I’m about to put new OEM lowers on my 1st gen because of the seized cam bolts. I am lifted so I figured I might as well do it right and add some SPC arms while I’m doing it. I’m set on this brand because they’ve proven to be good and I like the ability to fine tune them. I bought some about 5-6 years ago for a 2nd Gen and I can’t believe how much they’ve gone up in price. The going rate now with some of our known vendor friends is about $600. I found a vendor on eBay selling them for $499, but that raises other concerns.

    Are any of you finding better deals from reputable vendors?

    Thanks!

    Go with JBA they are a Vendor on here, and I don't recommend buying anything from people on Fleabay in regards to these items. Most times they are not an Authorized Seller so if there is an issue that's your problem. Look at JBA you can't lose

    Thanks! From what I’m seeing, JBA’s aren’t adjustable though, that’s what I’m looking for. Is that incorrect? Plus I won’t lie, that red.....

    Yeah it’s probably enough castor for what I need. I’m just gun shy because I spent big bucks for Total Chaos arms once and while I was back in spec (barely), I couldn’t get the amount of castor I was wanting.

    I'd guess just a smaller market, so they have to charge more to make it worth their while to continuing offering them.

    This is my guess as well. I can’t find JBA’s vendor page in the list. I just looked up their website and for that price, I’ll have to consider red.

    For what it's worth I really love mine. And they're really easy to repaint if you wanted to. Just scuff it up and paint it black.
