Trying to wrap my head around all this front lower ball joint stuff. I want to get something decent on my car as a replacement( 06 coupe). I'm wondering why z1 is charging $78 a pop for the front lower balll joints and the most expensive ones on rock are $32 and change. I've done a fair share of reading and I see there some crap out there, the old parts from amazon with the revisions out there reusing nuts and seats. Are the ones from z1 exclusive or am I just paying a 100% markup on parts buying from them.

 

Autozone used to sell proper Made in Japan BJ for G. They were around $100/pair, sorry, it was quite some time ago(5 years?). If you have doubts, go with Autozone set.

Z1 sells OEM and their own brand I think. RockAuto is always going to be cheaper due to their business model. I ordered mine off RockAuto years ago and I think they were Deeza, which are still holding up well and look brand new.

You can also get some junk on RockAuto sometimes, so I usually Google the manufacturer prior to purchasing.
