my car was hit in the fender while parked. I am putting on z3 fenders and looking to get an aftermarket control arm but am having trouble finding them.

NOPI said that they dont even have any, the last time I was there I saw a Skunk 2 control arm.

does anyone know about aftermarket control arms? I have camber kits since my car is lowered, but didnt want a stock control arm if i could get an aftermarket one for around the same price. my current one is bent..... thanks :o

sure yeah skunk2, spc's new design (just like skunk2 but less $), and probably some other ones that escape me at the moment...As long as you replace the entire A arm youre set (which Im sure you knew)

When you called they probably didnt think "Camber kit"...theyre dumb at nopi...I mean look at their tv show on SpikeTv

is there an advantage to aftermarket control arms, what do they do?

most will be "camber kits" and just have adjustable balljoints for lowered cars...thats it
the entire arm makes it easier to install and change camber rather than just an adjustable ball joint..plus the latter type are known to be difficult with toe...or is it caster

caster more, but they are a ***** to adjust
