Default Upper control arm replacement

I bent my driver side front upper control arm, because I am slammed on Tein Flex's. I am looking to replace my OEM upper control arms with an aftermarket set but I am having trouble finding a company that makes them. Can anyone help?

I believe Nagisa makes upgraded and stroger aftermarket control arms. They're also adjustable so you can alter the camber settings more than the factory adjustments allow. They run about $900 a pair for the 2 front ones. Not too bad considering the factory ones cost about $600-700 or so for a pair.

The upper arm list price is around $450+. So if you're really slammed I would upgrade.

JeffTsai: Do you have a website for Nasiga? O and I sent you a PM about the retrofit headlights.

Spyder78: I was quoted at $313 per side (I used to work at Lexus). So I am def aware of how expensive they are. I am def looking to upgrade.

Any one know of any other companies???

For the control arms I think Nagisa is the only company that offers them. This is the only site I know of that sells them:
