I'm looking to replace my lower control arms on my s14 because one of the rears is bent from my car accident and the fronts the balls are bad. The only company's I can find that offer aftermarket ones are Megan for a really high price along with circuit sport for a front and back set. And then there is emusa for 289 for complete set and Godspeed project for 315 complete set. I know that they are all cheap china made products and that you get what you pay for but what I need to know is from people that have used these brands before or still using these brands and what you guys think is better to go with and how good they are. Thanks

OEM, if you think megans are expensive.... you shouldn't be thinking about any reliable LCA's.

Reason is it because it's better to stay oem on lower arms then aftermaket is that why there isn't alot of bigger company's offering them other then nismo?

There are... its because to get good metal and hardware, its very expensive not just counting the r and d.
You can do power by max arms.... Those are $550 to $600 for just the fronts.... Dont' buy megans or god speed or circuit sports for the MOST important part of your car.....
If you think megans are expesnive...

Yeah Megan's are expensive for 800 something for being a eBay Chinese made product compared to emusa or godspeed stuff at 300 or less. I don't mind paying that much if they where like made by a bigger company. But I'm not in the market in spending that much right now I'm just comparing to see which way is better way to go because the oem stuff new adds up more then just going aftermaket so I want to see from people's experience which brand will be better to go with.

So are u running Megan's then because I never said there expensive other then there over priced for knockoff when people talk crapp about there stuff. To make it easy I'm looking for something like Isis stuff there good for the money and will get the job done for a reasonable price. And have good reviews and people are happy using them

There is a really good chance you can find someone parting out a 240 and buy their used LCAs without having to spend 600 bucks to replace yours.
Otherwise, the only aftermarket arms I'd consider buying are Parts Show Max new LCAs. Super reasonably priced for what you get.

Oem, pbm, or ikeya formula. You really shouldn't bother considering any other options.

If OP is still crashing into things, buying adjustable LCA's is a horrible idea and waste of money.
Just stick with oem cheapies. Maybe press some Energy bushings into them.

just replace the ball joints on the front-don't buy new. good moog ball joints can be found for around 25 bux ea. removed the c-clip, press the old out, press new in, reinstall c-clip and DONE.

Get used OEM arms, remove ball joints/bushings, spray new coat of paint, install new ball joints/bushings. Presto, strong, awesome arms. And cheap. Especially if you're still hitting shit...
