Default Suspension questions, Upper balljoints and bushings

While changing my outer tie rods today with my brother, we realized something else needed changing.

My upper control arm balljoints are very weak at the moment.
I read that you can not just change the balljoint, but the whole control arm needs to be changed.

www.intellexual.net says that
"Supra OEM control arms can be interchanged with SC control arms."

Does this include the lower and upper control arms? I heard that the price of these might be substantially lower than the Lexus part. That being said, where can I order parts? I've checked out ebay as of now..


My front coilovers also seem to have some worn bushings, can someone point me in the right direction on where I can get some good prothane ones for a reasonable cost?


I've also been looking at the prothane front control arm set that people have been ordering, do the bushings for the supra also fit the sc/soarer?

Thanks for looking.

yes the supra tt upper and lower control arms will fit. i just installed my supra upper control arms and it seriously only took me 20 mins a side with air tools. i havent touch the lower control arms yet. i got my upper control arms from ebay and they came with bushings and ball joint. they were new for $110 a piece. fitment was excellent.
