That said I am interested in a set of lightweight, stiff lower control arms that use Heim joints instead of rubber or neoprene bushings. I agree with DemonSVT though, for $500 the control arms had better be made out of tubular aluminum. For tubular steel the price should be around $350-$400.
Billet aluminum.
Other apps (higher volume of course) have aluminum LCA's available for $300-350 a set.
Depending on weight, I probably wouldn't even be interested in heavier tube steel units. Weight is a big deciding factor for me.
Unsprung weight is the ultimate enemy. Even an extra 4-5lbs each is getting near 100lbs performance wise.  The heavy front end plows enough as is...
