moog has lower trailing arms?

found this on summit.... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOG-K6402/

42 bucks each! obviously they're not as sturdy looking as even the cheapest aftermarket arms (tubular arms) but i'm wondering if they'd be a good upgrade over the stock arms without breaking your wallet.

i just thought i'd throw this out there for those looking for something better but are too short on cash to buy even 130 dollar lower arms. anyone want to share an opinion on these? i already have a set of UMI arms and i'm not downgrading to get these, i'm just asking what others think about these.

the only problem I have with moog is these are their locations in China. These arms would be in their aftermarket section

made in china...this is what happens when we make deals with countries that have next to zero laws ensuring worker safety product safety, etc. all because people want to save a buck. i'd rather spend an extra 5 and have it made in a country that gives a damn about the people in its factories and the products those factories put out.

nixon should never have gone to china and we should never have opened relations with them. we are now paying through the nose for this incredibly stupid mistake and will continue to do so for countless decades to come. i wont mention any names of other presidents who wanted to be china's best friend....but they're not hard to find in google...

i wouldnt mine owning one but i would HAVE to convert it to RWD. i dig the look of them i must admit. i prefer the 88 grand am over the grand prix of the same year. had they made them RWD i would have bought one.
