Default LF: 2 Front lower control arms

I'm looking for the two front lower control arms on an 97 sc300.
I've done some research. Straight from the lexus dealership it will cost me $937 each.
Is there any other possible source i can get them from. Just making sure there is other options.
Maybe supra control arms or soarer lower control arms straight from jap.
Possibly aftermarket.
I'd like some thoughts or ideas. Just trying to see if i can take an alternative route from member's experiences.

supra (Toyota) FLC arms are the same and are usually much cheaper than the Lexus part. Plenty of DIY's on this issue. Just do a search.

Supra arms are steel which are heavier but half the price.Lexus ones are aluminum hence the price.Whats bad the ball joint or bushings?

Having changed the FLC arms on several of my SC's some years ago with the oem Supra ones, they were identical to the oem Lexus ones, but MUCH cheaper in price.

Hmm I might look into oem supra ones. Might just do the bushings and FLC arms to get it over with.
