I installed 4.10 gears in my 04 GT and damn, much better. Had them in a week, raced my friend in his 03 Wrx turbo, and smokes him, even off the line! Though is 4wd would get the jump!

Anyways when I got the car 3 or 4 months ago I noticed that the guy before me had put in sr performance control arms, the cheap 120$ ones. I hope there atleast better than stock. But some reason all the bolts came loose over time and it chewed up All the bushings. Can I just replace the bushings, and can I get any oem ones? Or is this a deal where I need to buy the control arms. Both upper and lower bushings shot on both sides. And the control arms were put in about 5 months ago. Maybe needed loctite or he did not tighten them enough.
 
It can be very difficult to find just the bushings for those control arms, and finding factory oem control arms and bushings is impossible (unless you find them used but who wants used bushings anyway?). You are better off buying like a set of upr tubular control arms.
