    Check out Mazda/Nissan Heaven. I got an a-arm from them a couple years ago for $50.

    There are a few down on 180 near Loop 12 too that would be a lot closer to you.

    Also, call Gary at http://www.trackdogracing.com to see if he has any on a parts car.

    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    I'll give you an upper, but are you sure it is bad? The long bolt will usually bend before the a-arm gives way.

    Hey now, that's my contact.

    But yeah, Bob has enough parts to make 7+ fully functional Miatas, so he should have thos parts, and at a great price.
    Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).

    thanks for all the offers. i have everything now. ended up with an order from tire rack (bilstiens) and mazda south to finish the shopping list.

    thanks again for the offer mad merv, but when i was over at one of the yards getting the lower and they had a stack of the uppers so i grabbed on there.

    the upper bolt was bent, had to sawzall off and then heat to remove.. ugh.

    I knew you would need to. That bolt always goes first. I guess I'll take this a-arm and bolt back to the barn...................
