I hope they're not, but I placed a bid on them because it's cheap....it looks in the lower picture like it's bent, but I would imagine the bar would bend if the ends would....

The bars on F-Cars have a small angle to them. Looks fine to me.

I don't know about that. A quick search of of the web (let alone what I've seen both stock and aftermarket), and I don't see any other with a bend like that. I think they are pretty clearly tweaked, I think you got what you paid for. Just google Lakewood lower control arms, you'll find a lot of pics and judge for yourself.

I won for $30 plus $15 shipping, should I pay for them? Is there any way I could bend them back? I can't figure out how just the ends would twist without breaking welds and bending the shaft.....
