Just did the same

Just Decided to keep my 96 and "Max" it out (pun intended)
I had bad lower control arm (ate the crap out of tire)
so I ordered kit from e-bay that included:
both lower control arms (with bushings), tie rods, and sway bar links for $160 shipped http://stores.ebay.com/ACCARS2006
Although it took 5days to get to me, the parts were very good quality.
I had to pay $700 for installation (included mounting & balancing 4 tires) too big a job for my tooless self. Upgraded to 17" rims off of a 2004 350z and ride is much better
Now I am ordering springs and struts (probably tein s with KYB GR2

How's the quality of the parts holding up? I just bought the full kit as well and will probably be installing them next week.
