Replacement Lower A Arms

I have done bushing replacements (requiring burning and pressing out old bushings before) and was considering an entire lower A-arm replacement instead of hours of blood sweat and bushing tears.

Has anyone used these guys:

They have a few manufacturers listed (left hand colum 1/4 way down) and wanted to know if anyone used these (which brand) and how they are holding up?

Thanks.

Havent tried em, but thats kind of cheap for a control arm. Theyll probably be good but who knows how long the bushings will hold?

I have to disagree. I did the energy suspesion bushings and the car drove no differently. (My oem bushings weren't in bad shape to begin with). Plus the energy ones started squeaking and popping.

I put in brand new nissan control arms ($150/ea) and the problem was solved for good. Plus new ball joints.
