I actually purchased the same exact kit from eBay last year. For the price, it can not be beat anywhere. The quality is on par with most aftermarket OEM replacement parts. No fitment issues. And you get all the extras. End links, tie rods, bushings. It's a steal, especially if you are doing the labor yourself.
I did have to replace the driver side LCA this year but that was not the quality of the parts. I smacked into a curb last winter and it cracked the internal weld on the pivot bolt.
Buying the parts individual even with Dave B. discount get's to be quite expensive. Left and right LCA's alone will run almost $300 before shipping thru any online dealer.

Not so...
...personal experience is the best way to gauge quality, not assumptions.
eBay sells a lot of sub-par quality parts and accessories. We all know that, but...
...eBay LCA kits and eBay engine mounts FTMFW
No dealer or distributor can touch the prices on these items and they have already been proven time and time again on here to be of same quality as OEM.

Wow....i gotta say -- that is a helluva deal!
$200 for both sides?
Hmpf - if you're doing it yourself, all you have to lose is the time of installation, and the entire KIT becomes a basic maintenance item!!
Ugh - I may have to change my mind on where I'm buying from now.
thks for the post.

As for the mounts, I did treat the passenger and front crossmember to 3M Windoweld, but the quality is still superior for the price.

I can't find a post in the GroupBuy section from you regarding 5 or 5.5 gen SETS mentioning $140 shipped????
You posted a link to your site -- where the price is $199.
Can you clarify??
I'm interested!

Yeah - I figured. 
I thought about calling -- but who do I ask for?!?!
if the deal stands (no reason why it wouldn't) for the 5th gens, I'll be buying this kit.
Call me cheap -- but I'm goin' for it.
