Default Daystar control arms

Is anyone using the Daystar control arms and if so do you have anything good or bad to say about them? The complete system is about $300 dollars less than my other option, the Teraflex system.

Well, according to UPS, mine should be sitting on my front doorstep! I will update you when I can get home from work and get my grubby paws on them!

Very nice, quality parts! These control arms look like they will take a good beating! I can't wait to get them on tomorrow!

I noticed on the Daystar website that their control arm mounting bolts have zerk fittings on the bolt head. Interesting.

Where did you guys source the set of arms from, and how much did you end up paying?? Do you have any idea what material (tubing OD and thickness) they are?? Did you get the complete set of 8??

I just put in the Daystar upper rear control arms. For some reason, the bolts they gave me did not work for attaching to the frame, I had to use the stock bolts. The nut went all the way down to the base of the thread, and there was still spacing, like 1/2"
