Help: Front Lower Control Arms

Hello evo experts!!!
I need to replace front lower control arms.
Is there good aftermarket ones ?
Or.... OEM arms are good enough to have fun on the street ?

Also, Im thinking to replace all bushings.
Have you guys used the Energy Suspension Bushing Kit ?

Thank you!

stay with your stock ones and replace the bushings. bring to a machine shop to get them pressed. whiteline sells some good stuff. i also suggest getting the whiteline center roll correction if you're sitting on coilovers

Why do you think you need to get new Lower Control Arms? Dont know anyone that sells after market best bet maybe find used ones. and bushing you can use on the street. will give you less slack. Not a bad upgrade if you have the parts aport why not do it

Thanks for all inputs guys!
I think I will get OEM front lower control arms.

Do you guys prefer whileline bushing kit for front lower control arms or energy suspension bushing kit for all bushings?

I would not run the energy kit for the front LCA. I run the following combination:

- Inner rear - Perrin PSRS
- Inner front - Stock (IMO a poly bushing to too restrictive to be used with the PSRS)
- outer - Whiteline FRCK

I would use OEM control arms.....but if you absolutley need to have aftermarket control arms.....Nagisa Auto Japan makes some of the nicest I've seen.

I run the full ES kit in black with the white line ball joints.

Works great. 10k miles later.. still perfect.
