Reccomended by who? People that feel their time is worthless and are looking spend $54 and get a part that is not signifigantly better than the one they took off in niether looks or performance?

UMI control arms $100 + 6% sales tax = $106
R&R control arms 1 hour (generous) @ $10 / hour (diy)= $10
Total = $116
And they're strong and pretty

Bushings - $54
Remove control arms with car on jack stands - at least 1/2hour
R&R bushings - at least 45 minutes if you have the right tools
Reinstall control arms - 1/2 hour
So even if you pay yourself $10/hour (which no mechanic would work for) you are still at $71.50 and this does not include painting anything or the electricity to run the tools/lights/etc..
The worst part with this is that in the end you still have the same garbage part you started with!!

Price difference = $44.50
Still "A worthy handling upgrade"???
