Control Arms
Ok so I have decided to go yet another new direction with my car and I need some opinions on some new lower control arms. Not sure what ones to get, I mostly just going for the color not performance or anything and I figured since I will be lowering the car more and installing the lower tie bars I might as well swap out the control arms. Anyways they all seem to about the same price, so what are your guys opinions. Also as for the bushings I think I remember just getting stock ones are better right?

Never heard of Blackworks, and I wouldn't recommend getting no-name suspension parts. Megan is obviously going to be good for the price. I've heard Blox has stepped up their game a good bit since the days of "Blox parts suck".
The only thing I've heard about the bushings is that some of the bushing holes are slightly smaller than stock, so you'll have to modify the bushings a little bit to get them to fit.

Spend the extra money and buy ones with polyurethane bushings. Blox sucks, I had their rear LCAs for maybe a year and the rubber bushings tore and I replaced them with Function7 LCAs. I'll never recommend any of their products. They're cheap in price for a reason. The Megan Racing and also the Blackworks(which I've never heard of), look like they both use the same, cheap rubber bushings as Blox. The no name one looks pretty sketchy so rule that one out completely lol.
For an extra $85 you can get a real nice looking set that will also last a very long time.
