Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ Control Arms Guide

The control arms are the most important part of your car's suspension set up. They are what connects your wheel to the sub frame and allows for the wheel to move up and down when you go down the road. Sometimes this movement is too hars on the OEM Control Arms, like going over a speed bump at a faster speed than posted, or going over a deep pot hole, causing the OEM Control Arm(s) to bend due to the harsh impact. Now as a lot of you know, OEM Parts are expensive, which means replacing them, as well as replacing the Control Arm Bushing, will cost you a lot! When considering price, you should understand that if you are paying that much for OEM quality parts, you might as well upgrade and get better aftermarket control arms which are built to handle harsher impacts than the standard quality Control Arms. Providing you, the customer, peace of mind when you go down a rough road. 
Another big thing upgrading your control arms will do is increase traction. When you start to get into bigger horse power numbers, you begin to experience wheel hop as well as wheel spin due to the fact that your suspension just isn't set up to transfer all that power to the ground. By upgrading your control arms, you can adjust the amount of movement allowed, or stiffen the Control Arms, which means that when you launch your car, the wheels move less, forcing them to catch traction as soon as all that power is sent to your rear end. 
Lastly, for those who are looking to Stance your car, when you lower your car and add camber, you will be putting a lot of stress on the OEM control arms that aren't normally built to handle immense amount of camber as well as loads of pressure in different areas than where the OEM wheel would impact. The best thing you could do for your car at this point would be to upgrade your control arms in order to handle this pressure and provide you with a suspension set up capable taking on whatever the roads ahead have to throw at you!
