Price of superstrut arms for ae101

Postby Grrrrrrr! » Sun Jul 03, 2011 6:02 pm

Just been looking at an ae101 gtz that i'm thinking of buying, but need both superstrut arms replacing according to the owner. Whats the current best price for these? I know they were reasonably expensive several years ago then BNT? parallel imported a bunch and the prices got slashed. Are they still cheap? And who has teh best price?

Not sure on prices, but i believe the aftermarket ones dont last nearly as long as TGP, so if your planning on keeping it, TGP would be the way to go imo.

Certainly aftermarket don't last as long. However I'm not sure aftermarket ones are sold here anymore.
The ones BNT?Autolign had when I was there were genuine ones.
However when they first started selling them they are cheap knock offs and barely lasted 6 months.
Problem is unless you have a genuine one there to compare it to, how can you tell? As they were also copying the labels

When I had my GTZ, I just bought the genuine ones as there is no point in needing to do them again just a bit down the track, reasonable price too, iirc around $175 ea

$175 sounds reasonable. Might be buying a GTZ.
