I picked up a set of SPC arms for 350 shipped from THMotorsports on the vendor forum. They seem to be pretty good and they claim to have a lifetime warranty.

hey i dont have pics but i installed the UCAs this past weekend. They of course ride a lot smoother than the worn out OEM ones. i havent had any problems. I still need a dag on alignment, but its cool thou cuz at least when i hit 60mph my steering wheel doesnt shake my watch off anymore. lol

yea the vibrations prolly def come from the UCAs easiest way to tell b4 u take the plunge wit the money is to jack ur front end up n wiggle the wheel. if it moves a lot get em replaced asap. if they dont move it could jus be ur rims. wat kind of coils and wat size rims r u sitting on? i love the ride height of ur car.

the arms were great. but i switched over to SPCs cuz i needed something more adjustable since i lowered my car. I would definitely go with these if you want something the is OE quality with out the OEM cost. plus Toyolex has great customer service and they have a no questions asked warranty policy. i had no issues with them while i had em. n i have a brand new passenger side UCA if your interested
