upper conrol 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?

Cusco makes a drifting setup control arm set ,dont ask what that costs..
they are available aftermarket in europe and the UK.. about 150pounds/200 euros/$300 bucks ..then plus shipping etc.. will come out to $375..and the dealer sells em for that so..
doesnt Autozone sell these parts? ??or try the **********.com

getting a stock set is not an issue. I would prefer to go aftermarket because I am so low, i'll need something a bit stronger than stock.
Do you have a website for those cusco upper control arms...I am having trouble finding it.

Didn't you have another post about the control arms? It's in the main 2GS forum...not in the suspension subforum. I linked you to a site where you can get the Nagisa upper control arms. They also have a number of other race spec suspension components for the GS. Rear control arms, front lower arms, etc...

You bent an upper control arm?
You're talking about the upper A-arm, right?
Holy crap. That takes a bunch of force.
I would be looking into replacing ball joints, tie rod ends,
and other control arms if this part got bent. It's not significantly
stressed, it just goes up & down to control the movement of
the suspension. I can't even imagine how this happened!
Please inspect your other suspension components and get a
good four-wheel alignment, for safety's sake!
