This guy got a bunch of Roush parts from some place that went out of business and is selling them at a stolen price.
These arms are sold on the Roush site for $126 EACH.

I almost fell out of my chair when I first saw them on ebay at that price.
I was sceptical but when they came I was very happy. They are real.
Not sure how they compare to steeda, etc.......but for the price it wasn't much of a decision for me.

DTK, so you could tell a nice traction difference from the Roush pieces?

I went with FRPP upper control arms with these Roush lca's and the difference was very noticable.
Big difference when you give it a good shot compared to the stock setup.

The control arms are very easy. The only thing is you may need to take down the exhaust to get out the upper bolts. My bushings were seized onto the stock bolts and the metal inner sleave on the stock busing actually broke off and stuck to the screw. So that caused some problems. I actually had to cut through the stock control arms with an oxy torch to get them out. That was fun. But i've done control arms on other ppl's cars and it was a blast. I have Granatelli tubular upper and lowers and it was a PITA trying to get the rear sway bar back in with the new control arms but other than that its a pretty easy job. .

Steeda has a GREAT writeup for the CA install, I don't have a link but just google "steeda control arm install". Its what i used for my install and it was dead on, even the bolt sizes were correct.
