Banzai Racing trailing arms
 
I did a couple searches on this but couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone have any experience with these? What is the quality?

Those are the same China-Speed trailing arms that pop up on ebay from time to time. Usually they are about $100 or so shipped so I guess Banzai just jacked the price up a little.

Anyhoo - I'm looking to upgrade my trailing arms and toe control arms in the near future as well. If the quality is good, I'd probably get a set.

They are TC Sportline, the same as Mazdatrix sells for $30 more than us, so we have not jacked the price up at all. The Quality is great, we install them all the time and ship them all over the world every week.

^^^ I'm a fan of Banzai, don't get all butt-hurted.

I'm just sayin... you're both higher than flea-bay and thats to be expected.

You want nearly $160 shipped.

I priced these on flea-bay last week and they were just about $100 to my door.

My question is - are they good quality? Would YOU put them on YOUR 20B FD? :)

Banzai-Racing 11-29-11 03:36 PM

I am not at all "butt hurt". It is not possible to sell this brand for $100 shipped. There are cheaply made copies of everything on ebay, no one has a clue what they are actually getting there, we buy directly from TC Sportline. I have seen knock offs of our own products on ebay.

I would install the ones we sell on my own car. We do have the camber adjuster for the FC on our Vert.

7dust 11-29-11 03:42 PM

^^^ Amen to that.

Camber adjuster... THATS what we need for our FC Lemon! :D

As far as the TC Sportline trailing arms... personally that is the brand I'll probably go with.

Another possible suggestion is Improved Racing. If you have issues with the $160 Banzai charges...which is very reasonable...Improved Racing sells trailing arms that allow for wider tirest for about $220 IIRC and are very nice.

Banzai-Racing 11-29-11 04:39 PM

Our price is $129.00 + shipping.

Saner 11-29-11 05:35 PM

Thanks for chiming in, guys. Looks like I'll have to find a way to subliminally tell wifey what I want for Christmas.

Gringo Grande 11-29-11 05:37 PM


Our price is $129.00 + shipping.
Even better! =)

I have used these for over 6 months running on the 1/4 mile track every 2 to 3 weeks with NO issues.

If I remember correctly, TCS Sportline has been around for a while in the Honda scene...not 100% sure but I seem to remember that name from years ago so that's why I got them..

BTW... the ones on Ebay sell for $90 PLUS $15 shipping....

i have the first version of the improved racing set. back when they were all just silver. and it was much cheaper than what they are now. they come with little "rod end seals to seal out dirt and moisture" not sure if they actually work but if they do thats great.

You do realize that those pretty much hold your rear wheels on right? Don't buy functional/mechanical Ebay parts. Save it for cosmetic stuff.

Funny you should say that... https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=972503

lol, beat me to it^ :)
I still think the suspension components in that picture really look like they've been in/close to a fire.

Someone from around here snapped a Megan Racing Toe link on the track. 85 mph sideways into a tire wall landing him about 8k$ bill when all said and done.
That 100-150 some odd dollar savings looks like a deal :lol:

sc_frontier 11-30-11 05:17 PM

I just can't see how these things would last on the street considering all the water, dirt, and stress they see.

FD3S2005 11-30-11 07:06 PM

i think the ones with rod end seals help it for every day driving
