The car I picked up a couple weeks ago came with a bunch of control arms and such in a box in the trunk, brand new in the wrappers. The shipping label said the parts are from cxracing.com. I went to their website and the parts are aluminum. Not sure if oem control arms are aluminum. The left front has been redone and I know its about time to change the right.

My question. Does anyone know if cxracing makes quality parts or should I go buy oem parts?

Don't even bother installing them, you'll be pulling them back out in less than half a year. OEM is Lemfoerder, $1k for the front set, which is insane so I always recommend Febi since they're almost as good at half the price.

 

Darn! I'm pretty sure that's what he put on the left front.
