Hello,

Here is another option below priced at $189.99 a set and features grease-able bushings. The stock mount can be re-used. If you have any questions please ask.

Thank you!
Ryan

The a-arm mounts are just steel and will be fine. No need to replace.

do you see much benefit in replacing the upper control arms? i am not really worried about handling. the car is a cruiser and i do drag race here and there. i am running your spring and agx shocks by the way.
