Mine were the opposite. The uppers were fine, but the lowers fit like crap. They were too narrow... therefore too much play in the bushings = almost wrecked the car. The are definately CHEAP, both price and quality. IMHO, you get what you pay for.

The old X2C arms (tubular) were crap. They discontinued making them.

The new control arms (Boxers) are very nice pieces with Energy suspension bushings. I have the X2C Boxer ST's on my car.

I like them alot. They are about the same weight as the stock control arms.

I went to the track this weekend and launched @ 5-6 k on 275-60-15 BFG dr's and pulled 1.6 - 1.7 60 ft times. I've never done that before!

The arms worked great and looked fine upon post race inspection.

No squeaking, no noise transmitted to the cabin. I think these arms are as good as or better than arms costing twice as much.
