yeah here's hoping. if they brake, where/how do i get replacement bolts? and do you recommend using an impact wrench? Third question, what benefit are aftermarket rear lower control arms? any good ones?

1) The dealership and other various online stores.
2) I've never had a problem doing suspension with simple hand tools.
3) Better bushings. Lighter weight (Not anything noticeable though). Better looks. I'm a fan of Function7, PIC Performance, and Skunk2.

the other benefit of aftermarket control arms is that they won't have broken bolts siezed in the bushings.... Thats the main reason to use them.

so is it worth it rigth now to invest 150ish in lower control arms and 120ish in a lower tie bar (benen) or should i just replace the springs? i'd like to replace the struts too, but i want my next purchase to be wheels/tires.

Do springs and struts at the same time along with that take care or the LCAs... the BENEN piece can wait.
