Default Control Arm Replacements

Has anybody used this kit from Lucky8?

I may be converting to coils, but while I'm in there was thinking about replacing the control arms. My front left is worn out. I don't see a full kit for the rear though.

What are the prices like and who makes them? OEM parts aren't terribly expensive for this task. I got LR OEM parts from LRdirect.com when I did this last year and prices weren't hugely more than buying decent aftermarket (which is not to say that you can't get cheaper crap aftermarket parts, but I wanted to fit good parts not cheap parts).

play around with their site, they have different prices for the same parts. I got the lower control arms for our LR3, Range Rover Sport 06 and Range Rover Sport 10. I found them for $80, they also had them for higher prices on the Lucky8 site, all the same part, just different listings(some were under LR3, some under Range Rover Sport, same parts). The parts were allmakes. Of the two sets that we have installed so far, we have only used one cambered bolt, I bought two bolt kits(I think that they were $50 per kit), just in case. So far, extremely happy with the quality of the products and the ride once installed! Phil

Swapping over to coils was amazingly easy. Did the swap some 5 +/- yrs ago? Still feels the same as the first day of install. I opted for the orange poly bushings in front.

Arms themselves are likely fine, no harm in swapping in new hardware though. My 06 (Actually my daughter's now) still running original bits on rear.

I agree, go OEM. AT least for the front lowers and for both upper and lower rear arms. And avoid poly, there is no benefit unless you like cracked control arms - very well documented issue.

Thank you all for your input. I believe they are probably AllMakes4x4. Seems to be what most of their stuff is based on all the stuff I've ordered from them.
