Any chance you will get rid of the old control arms for cheap once you get the new ones? I'm needing a spare set to get the measurements to get an aftermarket prototype set made.

i guess i can sell the old ones once i get the new ones..might not be for a lil while tho..these are expensive a$$ parts..what kinda aftermarket ones are u trying to get made? shorter ones so they dont bottom out? stronger ones?
