Subject: Re: Does anyone here knows if VBP ball joints fit and if they are a good brand? by iCorvette on 2010/12/20 18:40:47 That thread I have read over and over again, he bought the stuff from Corvette central and it held up the job,even the new TRW's uppers weren't aligned perfectly, what gives? any how I can't see how a reputable " racing oriented" outfit like VBP who would not correct an ill-fitting or poor quality short life span part, at the end if the day, when you look at what they offer, it is minimalist for sure. unlike Eckler's Mamo, Corv central et al. which carries everything, VBP I feel is intimate and is accountable for what they sell, more so than the general public type aforementioned outfits. That said, who knows, I could call them and I think their rebuild kit is a good alternative to Corvette recycling's 4 "new" control arms for 400 bucks. it costs 399.99 and has tie rods and boots in poly, bushings, although the ball joints will have to be replaced by oneself. it would be hard for me to press out brand NOS, rubber bushings to put in polys and then have old arms sitting around, just my take. I agree from reading it's best to stay with moogs and trw...but the jury is out |
