Croustibat is an unknown quantity at this point

Actually that is a load of bull. I bought a full set of rose jointed arms for my S13 from them. Package was terrible and i mean it...

But then the quality of the stuff ?
1/ the alloy is shit. It is supposed to be metal, but it feels like cheese... and it IS heavy. Machinist has never seen that. Easier to cut than low grade aluminium.
2/Threads : There was paint ON THE THREADS And they had so much play in them i had a machinist redo them.
3/ LCA "studs" coming into spindles. They dont have the correct taper !!!!
4/ Welds. Even when i started welding, i made better welds ...had to redo them too.
5/ tolerances. I had to redo every damn misalignment spacer, because none of them was ROUND. And none of them had any tightness in them. And they were made of "cheese metal" too .


So please dont even talk about the quality standards of EMUSA... I think it would have cost me less to have a fabricator make these arms ...
