Go to FCP Groton, (it's in Groton, Ct) they have the same control arm kits for $200 less than ECS Tuning. FCP Groton also sells their parts on EBay with free shipping.

Is the rear the one that goes up through it or down from the top? I can't remember.


I don't think you should have to take off your rotor, but even if you do that's only 4 more bolts. Just take off the lower strut bolt, sway bar end link, bolt that goes through the steering knuckle, and the big bolt that goes into the subframe, then put it on in the reverse order (I'd do the bolt that goes through the knuckle last though).

It is the one that goes down from the top.

Would this do the job?

get this one:

It's the same one, same price, but a reputable (and local for you in Ct) seller.
