I've read the threads, now I'm wanting to ask everyone the question.

When you replaced your Lower Rear Control Arms, what brand did you purchase and why?

I didn't replace mine, instead I used an eccentric bushing kit to get it to align properly.

Waiting for some aluminum trailing arms to arrive so not installed yet, but Hotchkis Sport because they are supposed to be one of the better arms and they have grease fittings to relube the bushings. Debating on whether to get another set for the upper arms because the stockers look so flimsy, or possibly go with Donald the Bonald eBay arms up top.
