('03-'05) Are aftermarket control arms available?

2004XT_Auto · 01-25-2013, 07:18 PM

I'd like to know because I would not be surprised if the previous owner replaced the control arms if upgrades were available at any point in time. Upgrades such as aftermarket or STI etc etc.

What I want to avoid is bringing my vehicle to a certain famous local dealership only to have them take off my control arms and have the mechanic throw them on their vehicle.

Thanks!

Does a magnet stick to them? Are they black or silver?

Take a pic & post it up of your control arms.
