Default Would This Really Be Worth It?

Was mainly wondering if anybody had dealt with this seller, and if these parts would be worth the price, or would "cheap" be something other than "inexpensive"?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-PC-Suspen...item51c165d12d

Perhaps a line/link where I might find these parts for less.
Thanks for the advice.

You get what you pay for.

Sometimes. But usually not. I would advise against this example.

Sounds like a gamble. Are you a gambling man? On suspension parts?

While I do take a gamble on some things, I decided to call the 866 number on the page.
I asked 1 question,
"Who manufactures these parts?"
their answer was "We Do"
then I asked,
"You mean to say that you own your own foundry and cast these parts"
they answered
"yes in Asia"
To which I responded
"That is ridiculous"

So.. The bottom line is STAY AWAY from "Prime Choice Auto Parts" on EBay, and their other web based outlets.
They will try to tell you what they think you want to hear.

come to think of it, I believe the girl who answered the phone said her name was Hilary.
I can't stand when people try to bullshit their way through, even though they are caught in a lie.

It may be pricey but when it comes to ball joints and such moog is the way to go.

No argument here.
Partly why I called.
It's just All of that could use replacing, (190,000 mi. with little to no maintenance until I "inherited" it. lol) and I could really use a good deal.

Hello,
I see that this thread is long dead but I have been flipping cars for a bit now and came across prime choice auto parts a number of times. They are some of the cheapest crap out there but THEY ARE EXACTLY THAT CRAP. It doesn't last long and it doesn't perform well. I'll give that they are the cheapest stuff out there but you'll wind up doing the job twice with different parts. It is crap.
