I need a set of Rear Control Arms.
Hey I just noticed my driver side rear control arm is bent. Its the stock arm, so now is a good time to upgrade. The car is lowered with ebacih pro springs, so I don't know if its a good idea to get LCA relocation brackets. Oh the car is an 82 TA MSE. Its a daily driver, but I would like to take it to autocross events, and take it to the strip weekends. My budget is low, so I would like to get a bang for the buck deal.
I found these at I like the price. Lakewood Rear control arm

I jsut put spohn lca's and relo brackets on my car and love them. the spohn lca's will be $20 or so more and probably worth it for better quality.

Well, one thing I do not like about the lakewood bars is the ploy bushings only come in yellow. Not a big deal, but yellow doesn't look good imo. Mecham Racing may have put poly bushings for the control arms so I'll have to take a closer look.
OMG I just remembered on thing. On the 82 TA, their is a bolt that goes through the control arm that holds a steel cable that holds the control arm to the frame. Because of the springs low ride height, it prevents the spring from falling out when the car is jacked up.
I would not be able to drill a hole in the spohn torque arm because of its shape. Well, thats one more plus for any boxed shaped torque arm.
