Upper, Lower?
I think the upper replacements are mainly for adding camber adjustment?

And the lower's sometimes are made of aluminum..light weight?

usually for the lower control arm, they are made for the purpose of being lightweight and stronger and also to look good.

On my '99 Hatch I bought Front Lower Control Arms from a Civic EX to get holes for a stabi bar.

Yeah well when i got in my accident i had to replace my LCA so i also replaced them with the ex ones instead of the dx ones so i too can have the stabi. bars BUt yeah i thought that they were for lowering the car better, and also lossing a lil weight!

Changing to a JDM style (ie. ITR or SRR LCA) allows you to use a wider range of suspension types.
