What Lower Control Arms Are You Using?
I'm looking to get a new set of LCAs. Current set bushings are worn and looking to get something to alleviate all my issues I currently have with them.
What do you recommend?

I put Whiteline LCA bushings in my OEM control arms, nice and tight again.

Superpro bushings for me. Whiteline and Superpro are similar quality in my experience. I have a bunch of whiteline stuff on my track car. Can't go wrong with either.

Does Superpro sell the offset bushings they put in their LCAs?

I believe so, yes. But I didn't get the offset ones.

I bought LCAs from 1A Auto a year or so ago. Solid parts that look identical to OEM (though I know they're likely not equivalent). No issues at all. On another note, check out their YT channel for a pretty extensive set of 4th Gen installation videos covering various parts.

Are the whiteline/superpro bushings OEM-ish or are they a bit more stiff and therefore potentially more harsh/noisy/nvh driving? I'm getting old so comfort is king!
For yall that replaced them - how bad was it getting the cam bolts/sleeves off? Seems like one should assume they will be seized completely...?

Are these better than OEM though? For $600 you can get a brand new set of OEM LCAs.

Rebuild with energy suspension or white line bushings and new ball joints. And then repaint the arms. You’ll save some money and it’ll be a nice upgrade
