Vertex is now selling rebuilt upper control arms and lower control arms for the boxster. They state they use better bushings that will not wear out as fast.

The price is a lot cheaper compared to Sunset's price on these items.

Deluboz's stuff is adjustable and cheaper, but other threads show 2 issues with them: added weight and they're thicker and can create problems with one's rims and tires on the back.

I'm about to buy a bunch of suspension stuff and I'm going with the Vertex rebuilt items. Had I decided to buy lowering springs or coilovers, I'd have no choice but go with the adjustable aftermarket stuff to correct the alignment issues caused by dropping the car an inch or more.

Food for thought for owners of older boxsters in need of suspension parts... the things that go bump in the night (and day).
