Default where's a good place to get rear upper control arm for a 91

I need both rear upper control arms. who has the hookup? arnott industries only sells front. I haven't even bothered with the dealer, they wanted to charge me $800 to change distributor cap/rotors and wires.

Hi,

the rear upper control arm is actualy quite cheap at the dealer.
For the Mk1 it should be around 120$ each.
I also need them.
How hard is changing them?

I really cant give you guys an easy answer to this. I had mine changed when I had to have my differential changed last year. Whole rear end was already out of the car anyway, so why not?
