They are Work VS-XX, and they cost me around $3K new. You can find them used for about half that.

Ray, on the suspension you have the Megan lower control arms for the front I think.. Did doing those improve your handling? I'm looking to getting my suspension finished but I'm guessing for suspension at a decent price Megan is all we have? And your sides are trd skirts? Where could I get a pair or where do you usually shop? All of the stuff I come across looks tacky. Thx in advanced

My front LCA's are OEM, but I have Fig's adjustable outer tie rod ends to reduce the amount toe changes when the suspension moves. I back, I have Figs Mega Arms and toe links. Since I didn't slam my car, I can hit my desired alignment specs without aftermarket arms. Actually, caster is off, but I think everyone who has dropped their car has thrown off the caster spec.

I've been really happy with my parts for years, but I honestly don't remember how much of a difference they made because it has been such a long time. Here are a couple of my old pics.

The back goes out of spec quickly, but Mega Arms + toe links should work for you. The front should have enough adjustment if your car isn't lower than mine.
