Ahh man!! I'm in the UK, ordered from a seller showing the Ally arms, £120 for the pair, I did think it was strange as the next cheapest were £200 or something..
Package arrived today, the UPS guy was struggling, ut ohhhh, opened the box and fears confirmed, the original HEAVY arms!
I need to fit new arms this weekend as I'm going on a roadtrip next week so I am going to have to fit these!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH They're so DAMN heavy!!! My GTS which is my wifes daily, is no race car but still, to know I've saved some weight, it would have been nice and I'm sure it will have made some difference, even if it is only driven around London! Doh

On the rockauto link you posted they have the 17$ (2 left) arms and they have the other side for 72$ a little further down the list by the same company. Both sides in aluminum for under 100$ shipped. I ordered a set of them as my GTS will need it soon. Still trying to decide if I wanna do the poly bushings from powerflex.
For the guys that want to do poly:
You need a press! There are several ways to go about removing the rubber bushings but it's like
An air hammer, chisel, heat, hacksaw.....those are all enemies of that aluminum lower arm. Please trust me. It's not worth your aggravation. 
and get youself to a press and in ten minutes you will be all

That is odd. Rock has made several changes to listings in that page since I started this thread. Looks like they finally got it all squared away. Still a nice price. If your upper arm ball joints are good (likely are) I would do those in poly at least. You can always transfer the poly to a new arm if needed.

Wow, so cool. Definitely like the idea of an upgrade to aluminum. I would rather go with MOOG or perhaps Centric brand for just my piece of mind.
Are there any more aluminum suspension components that could be upgraded for 955 / 957 platform?
