GSR - Help with suspension setup!
So long story short I ended up kissing a curb with my Rear left wheel.... It turned into a big job really fast.
Things that are being replaced
OEM Parts:
Rear Subframe Assembly (4100A056)- 1,278.05
L Rear Susp Hub Assembly (3785A015)- 425.32
L Rear susp Knuckle (3770A009)- 448.31
L Rear Susp Link (4117A031)- 385.22
L Lwr Rear Susp Control Arm (4113A049)- 349.69
Total OE parts = $2886.59
My Questions is what parts can I substitute for aftermarket for benefit? I noticed I can get some adjustable Control arms for the same price as 1 OEM Control Arm. I'm looking to get my best bang for buck here. I will also be getting a center roll kit and Coilovers.
I have Enkei RPF-1s 18x9.5 and run Hankook RS3 @ 265/35/18
Thanks for the help

You can go with stiffer bushings if you can find some. Works says on their web site that they have a bushing kit for the X so I'd call them. If you find someone who really makes a bushing kit for the X let me know.
You can use aftermarket lower control arms too. I'm not good enough with alignment to know what that gives you since I'm not lowered. Do a search on rear lower control arm and see what you come up with.

SSP-TX is releasing Evo X LCA's for aggressive pricing compared to what's available. if that's really the price of OEM, I'd say get these - stronger and lighter too

just finished the prototype on my car not too long ago, and they've held up for two events so far - going into a weekend long event this weekend
is either of the rear suspension "knuckle" or "link" the toe arm? toe arms are also relatively cheap aftermarket, probably cheaper than what OEM is asking
