Control arms.
Buying used control arms or eBay arms. Your thoughts or concerns? All my ball joints are ripped bit in working order. I want to replace them all and saw some prett low mileage good looking sets. Please chime in.

In the UK the genuine TRW jtc1170 wishbone is about £65 the front jtc11185 is £45 the rear jtc1186 is £60. For the minimal saving of a used part I have bought new arms all round on this car and my last one. Assuming the used ones are original then they will be knackered anyway and 10 years old at least.

Agree with EDC, not worth it to go used. With your list of mods, you should be looking at GT3 or RSS control arms to make that suspension work right.
