rear lower control arms

I was about to buy AP rear lower control arms for my EVO 8, they were on back order so I cancelled and the guy told me AP was a bad company.. Also to go to cusco. I couldnt find a control arm from them.. point being, what is a good control arm to put on my EVO 8. I have stock ones now with messed up bushings.

Whats wrong with your bushings? The stock arms have spherical bearing on the inside, you're not mistaking the floppiness from the spherical end to be a bad bushing are you?

If it were my car/money, Id either get new OEM arms or just install some urethane bushings.

^^Yep, works, energy suspension and whiteline all make bushing for the control arms--as well as others I didnt mention. All less then 100.00 why pay hundreds when you dont have to?

Valid point. But between OEM and AP for control arms is the weight similar. Not that it matters... Just for common knowledge.

And i got my car inspected because I bought it used and I wanted to find all the problems to fix and the dealer mechanic told me it was the bushings then I looked at it and to you can tell the bushings is messed up.
