What are good aftermarket upper control arms/ball joints? Help!
Really need to replace these and had heard moog but now everyone is saying their quality sucks now? If I have to save for oem I will but I'd rather not because I'd have to wait a few weeks, they're like 750$. What have people bought and what has your experience been? I don't want to change the camber or anything just a stock replacement, thanks in advance

I posted in the previous thread about this. Get the SPC adjustable front upper control arms. It allows you to fix the camber and caster angle when your car is lowered. Even if it's all stock, you can still fix the caster angle. The arm is also fully serviceable and rebuildable in the future. They're around $350 or so for the pair.
That's what I run in my car and it has worked perfectly for the past 2 years.

Moog are fine just make sure it was made in japan. import direct seems good too. I put about 50k miles on the moog without re greasing after install, stupid on my part really, and it had slight play in one so i replaced them. lifetime warranty. look for ones with a grease fitting. i think they're like $62 a piece. if you want stock feel just go to your local autozone or whatever and they should be able to order you what you need and look for lifetime warranty parts. my 2 cents also ball joints are easy to replace so i recommend doing them yourself
