Control arms. Is it worth it?
So Oriellys has the upper and lower control arms. So I was wonder does the cost of replacing the bushing, getting pressed, and repainting exceed these. Also quality is a must. What do you guys think?

Re: Control arms. Is it worth it?
Seems like a lot of money to spend on factory replacements. Is there something wrong with the originals? When I upgraded to disc brakes I used the control arms from the donor vehicle. I could only see spending the money for tubular if you wanted to go that route, but personally couldn't see spending the cash on factory replacements.
