Should I replace my control arm? I don't think this bend is normal???

Good call on replacing it. Right thing to do.

I'll keep us on topic with an update!

Got the whole driver's side assembled, after wrestling with it a few hours last night... Just have to tighten down a few of the bolts and I'm set.

Then there's still the whole passenger's side to do...

I used an old placemat to make "green performance gaskets"

Put everything together for the drivers side and all I can say is, uhhhhh

I set the camber full negative, set the coilover about as low as it goes, and took it around the block. After pulling back in and measuring the ground to valance, the updated side sits 1" HIGHER than the old...

Uhhhhhhh... I'm hoping it just hasn't set in yet, cause I was expecting a range of ride height control, including LOWER than stock.

I guess Koni's with 200# springs would have been a better investment...
