Hey guys, just wondering what you guys recommend for upper control arms. My current ones appear to be some no name ebay camber adjustable upper control arms. I want ones that will last me. I was looking into skunk2, but it appears a lot of people have different things or say about the quality of skunk2 suspension stuff. Also, I don't know that I necessarily care about camber adjustability (it's nice to have) but I see that some people recommend OEM. If I were to go OEM style, where should I get them? Or for camber adjustable, what are the tried and true brands?

 

Are you lowered? When I bought my hatch it was lowered, but I returned it to factory height and went with OE style from rockauto. It’s been 6 years no problems.

 

yeah, I'm lowered. I like the lowered look. But I might raise it just a bit so I don't have to worry about clearance issues as much (traction bar hitting the ground). Or it's not just for looks, it's for "performance"..

 

The skunk2 ones look like junk, I would not trust those 4 dinky little bolts to hold over time.
I run the SPC adjustable ball joints in my stock upper arms. Have been great for the last 17years.

 

I've had good luck with my hard-race upper arms if you want adjustable.

If you are only lowering half an inch or so, OE style would be good too.

 

Sorry to respond to this so late. I'm not gonna lie, I went with the Skunk2 control arms, cause I wanted to sort of cheap out. Now only a year later, I've found out why that wasn't a good idea, because it seems my driver's side ball joint already went bad. So my only question is, if I go the SPC ball joint route, how do I get the original ball joints out of the OEM style upper control arms?
