Bro, when at the workshop to replace those arms, please compare to the originals before fitting. Those are indeed very cheap
Shopee got seller selling dirt cheap every now and then. Just need to check frequently.
Just need to check carefully as some ad is a bit confusing as it showed multiple brand as the picture. A quick check on question section showed they are selling cheaper parts and claim picture shown is for show only.

Came across them before. They claim heavy-duty but tbh, unless they explain specifically why theirs are HD, I am not too convinced. Color it orange and then claim HD ?
orange to signify its 'heavy dutyness', as heavy-duty as construction equipment

HAHAHAHA! exactly. the steel part all looks the same. i'd rather just get OEM MMC lower arms. frankly speaking, unless u go off-roading or hit a very huge pothole, the lower arm not gonna bend. only the ball joint and the bushes will wear and tear.

Maybe the paintwork is the heavy duty part. Less prone to rust for those for often visit work sites.

The metal part, I think no need to strengthen. Rare to come across bent arms. Maybe their earlier prototypes split at the weld seams. What I wont mind are bigger and hardier bushes.

but the bush i see is still rubber. but i guess the bushes last longer than stock ones la. coz iirc i did have those heavy duty lower arms before i swap my engine and been using that for more than 5 years. was on proride and apm performax springs sumore.

Go and check the price....Wow....abit out of my budget.....
Hahahahaha....maybe next time....
For now I juz want to restore the car condition back to normal only 1st.
I have lubang for Superpro. The prices you see online are RRP. Mines slightly cheaper. But cheapest option atm is still rubber and new rubber is still pretty solid.
