I asked about the zzp ones awhile back and most people said that the exposed bushings wouldnt last very long. Your better off replacing your worn ones with ottp ones and a moog ball joint.

Im looking to just replace the whole control arm as well. This sounds like a decent product.

I have been running these for about 6k miles now. Great improvement and CED was great to deal with as usual. Shipping was fast and they even send you the factory GM bushings that the Powell ones replace. Installed new swaybar bushings and Whiteline endlinks at the same time. Handles way better with the complimenting parts, car was already on Ksport Kontrol Pros.
