Any affordable A arms out there?

I've done a little searching for A arms. I have not found a reasonably priced pair out there. I can't believe companies are charging almost $400 for some bent tubular steel.

Do any companies out there offer reasonable priced replacement A arms that don't cost way too much??? Or require you to buy their K-member or coil overs?
All I need is some stock geometry replacements for thes worn out stamped steel stocker I have. Maybe some thing with a bolt in ball joint and atleast boxed in or tubular.

Anybody???

I would build my own, but I don't trust myself with that type of suspension fabrication yet. Figure in the time it would take for you to make your own (I'd say at least a full day) and then look at Spohn's units... I would say $400 is reasonable. You could always check the junkyard for stock replacements.

I already modified mine. I boxed out 50% of it especially near the bushings. Damn it's hevy though. My main problem is this damn pressed in ball joint. I'm gonna have to get an oversized one now cause the stock size is loose. Maybe I'll just go to coil overs and tube A arms.
