so does anyone make performance front lower controll arms for my 91 240sx. cusco and jic magic sell a whole bunch of nice stuff but im confused because nothing they sell is called a front lower control arm. the reason i ask is because i need ball joints and bushings for my control arms and i want to go with a better than OEM if i can.

It's nice to have your front suspension fully adjustable with these aftermarket control arms, but damn...these are expensive. $627 for a pair from SPL.

Yup!! That's what I did. Just get some aftermarket urethane bushings for the OEM control arms. You should be good to go. PDM-Racing.com sell arms with aftermarket bushing already pressed in.

Yeah, those SPL control arms are nice but their a little too blue for my blood. I went with a set from PDM Racing. You could get an entirely new set for what it would cost you to buy new bushings and have them pressed into the old control arms by some shop. Or you could just borrow that hammer from Thor and beat the **** out your control arms to get them bushings out and save a little money.

the SPL's are adjustable, really starting to get to serious suspension tuning when you get them

if you just want bushings just keep your oem ones and get the bushings
