Default Truhart USA

I'm looking to replace my shitty junk2 LCAs and camber kits that all have ripped bushings in them. So I was looking around, and I came across this brand Truhart. Not much info on the internet, but they claim to make their bushings inhouse, with a high quality standard, and offer a 2 year warranty on their parts...including bushings. The price is certainly right, I'm just wondering if anyone has given these a try? I'm thinking I might give the LCAs and camber kit a try.... worst case I have to send them in for a warranty repair I guess, right?

Our suspension arms and bushings are manufactured in a specialized facility who has been in the OEM replacement industry since 1989 and focusing on performance products since 2001. Most other manufacturers use generic bushings manufactured by an outside factory then cut to their specs. All parts of the production process are done in our factory including manufacturing the bushings from raw material and formulating them for their specific purpose. Because we are able to monitor control processes through the whole production phase and use the highest grade raw materials we are able to offer an industry leading 2 year warranty on our products.

I'll even go out on a limb and say it's the same re-branded garbage you can buy from anyone in a different color.

Just my opion here, but your better off runing Hardrace, or buddy club camber kits.
Both are pretty close in price to these, and we already know they work.


Prices from JHP, granted they aren't the cheapest. Hardace camber kits, F/R $294 Buddy club $331. Those truhart things, $280.

For LCA's, bite the bullet and get Function7's, or from a cheaper alternetive is the PIC control arms.

The Truhart camber kit is tubular, and one third of the price, with a 2 year warranty.

Granted I'm sure it's not fantastic, but I'm thinking those bushings should last at least 2 years if they warratied them for that long.

About the waranty, do some reading and insure "offroad use only" is no where to be found.

Workin! Actually, idk jack about this company. I bought the coilovers when there photo's were good, as a test for quality. Every bit has been exactly as it should, and I'm still checking wear/leaks regularly, but haven't seen any. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
Just a note: I am not contracted or paid in any way by this comment. You are getting an honest review of their product.
From me, see:
https://www.facebook.com/TruHartUSA



My only problem was they weren't quite that high.

SEE:


At the highest you could go w/o preload. Well, maybe you could, I like to run ~1" of lower unit thread, to make sure it is safe. They told me not to run preload on the springs, and I did, because f'it, I feel I know more then them.

gotta add this bit:

see the mirrors in my top photo, I added those :D

they work.
they were inspected by the DMV, and legal.
they are -STOCK- Honda mirrors!!! from a motorcycle (Hornet 600, 599, CB600-F6) :D
fit with parts for house water pipe :D

Afaik truhart is from the same group that first brought d2 to the U.S. if they are do maintain good QC it could be decent stuff. Made in USA is not a guarantee that something is good.

Did you pick up the street, basic or drags?
Upon closer look they look more solid than the some of the competition at the same price range. <-camber kits
I do know that
Shock Absorbers-*lifetime warranty
Lowering Springs-*lifetime warranty
Camber Kits/Control Arms/Suspension Arms/Bushing Kits-*five year warranty
Coilovers-*two year warranty
Air Struts-*two year warranty
Air Suspension Management-*one year warranty

Has anyone ran these on their 94-01 integra with the shocks/springs setup. I'm still debating between the truhart springs prings $120, coilover sleeves $60+, or coilover kit $384

That's a good price. Best I've seen actually. What's the wheel/tire set up are you going with on these?
