I have an s13 with a bent control arm. I wanted to know if there was a suspension combo package that would come with a control arm or I have to just buy an aftermarket one by itself.

Wow, I don't even really know what you're talking about, your thread sucks kid.

I'm guessing you're referring to a FLCA?

I've had good luck with these...

honestly theres no point in buying some re-enforced shit, you risk tweaking your subframe if you crash again since the re-enforced ones will not take the brunt of the force. two oem ones are like 100 bucks.

thats what ive done, i just stock pile on LCA's and tie rods swap em out if anything happens. easy as cake

Whatever you want to tell yourself. I'm speaking from personal experience. I actually wrecked my brokeback 240 back in October. Most of the weight of the car landed on the side of the front driverside wheel. I have Work equips, and it bent the face of the wheel, not the lip but the face, to where it had a wobble in the wheel when I spun it. The ebay oem flca, that I posted are, completely fine no damage to the arm, bushing or ball joint. It's the same stuff you would get if you bought it from any autoparts store.

Picture of said brokeback 240.
