i bought this car about a year ago for 5000. i put new tail lights 60$ halo projectors 300 $ motegi mr7's 300$ and two 12" sub woofers 400 $. 3 weeks ago i broke the bank and bought a 60 gallon air compressor and a sand blasting cabinet to refresh some parts. The drums i sandblasted to bare metal and painted with vht calliper paint 1 hour in the oven and this stuff comes out tough!. the camber arm? i sandblasted and painted with vht roll bar and chassis paint. I'm planing on blasting the trailing arms and repainting and some skunk 2 aluminium control arms. also I'm waiting for fastenal to open for some new stainless bolts in the engine bay and some new zinc plated ones for the suspension. i will update this as i go along with more pics, glad i finally joined the forums.

Welcome to the site

Skunk2, nor any other manufacturer, make aftermarket control arms for 7th gens. The only option other than stock are OEM Type-R aluminium control arms, which are lighter weight and add caster.

Ah you're thinking rear lower control arms, my bad, I was thinking you meant front for some reason.

Don't go with skunk2, the bushings are garbage, seriously. The only aftermarket rear lower control arms I would install on my car are function 7.

Nice job on the painting the drums. I hate seeing rusted old drums. Btw hows the cutoff and output of those headlights? Do you have any pictures?
