Upper Control Arms Where to Buy?

Hey - I am looking for suggestions on where to get stock replacement upper control arms for my 92 Si- The part from the dealer is way to expensive- I have seen some for as low as 70 bux a piece at aftermarket part sources, however I am doubtful about no name brands. Let me know if you guys have had any good experience with any aftermarket brands. Thanks

Moog manufactures high quality aftermarket suspension pieces, but I believe they are close to if not the same price as OEM Honda pieces.
Rule of thumb with any car part is that you get what you pay for. The aftermarket no name pieces may be cheaper initially but the quality is not the same as OE or high end brand name aftermarket pieces.
Replace it once, make it nice.
Replace it twice, pay the price.

my general rule of thumb is if the warranty is there the quality is there.

you can tell alot by the warranty that is being offered with it.
