So finally i replaced the disgusting control arms i had before.. they caused squeaking, grinding, clunking.. some beyond members know exactly what im talking about.
anyways heres some pictures of the job.

I chose the skunk2 system because it was easy, affordable, and quite easy to find... not to mention the wicked red they come in.

Note the scarring on the end.. this is from it scraping the inside of my fender because of the retarded place the camber adjustment was.

and finally the beginning of my sticker collection :P
After changing these i notice a HUGE change in performance. cornering is a lot tighter aswell as the car is stiffer, but easier to drive. i give these control arms an 8/10 only because i did have a few problems with the camber adjust coming loose, but remedied with some loctite.
anyways heres some pictures of the job.
