Need tubular control arms

[Turbo6Smackdown]

Does anyone know of a set of affordable tubular upper control arms that are a true drop in fit? Lookin' to bolt and go. I'm seeing pics of "drop in" control arms on here with 8 shims on them. I do NOT trust a local shop to be able to get this done correctly whatsoever. I want to be able to get it close myself, then drive it in and not have another 7 hours of work for these guys.

Go on youutube and look up diy alignment. There are quite a few vids on how to do it yourself. As far as arms go, all should be "drop in" but all will need an alignment.

Lol I knew that lol! That was PAINFULLY obvious man lol. But there's a difference between a standard issue alignment that should take an hour or so, and a full on "i don't know what the &&&& I'm doing" alignment, and we all know that. I'm trying to make it as fool proof as possible for these knuckleheads that work in the local shops around here. And trust me I know these people; half of them were in class with me for automotive technology. This is what I'm trying to avoid. If this is what it takes to align them, then guess what... they're not drop in fit! lol.

every car is different, and every car has been exposed to various levels of abuse,
that said , all cars will vary in the shims required to align the front end,
there is NO drop in, and add x number shims, thats only dreaming, LOL
if your car has been driven hard, or subject to rough /abusive roads, then expect to have more fun aligning it.

Or unknown accidents...

True, but if I had say one shim in my oem control arms, but need 34 for the aftermarkets, GUESS what happened... the car wasn't in an accident in between the control arm replacement, the aftermarket control arm jig was WAYYYY off. THAT'S what I'm trying to avoid. Not lookin to autocross my car, so I don't need some dude trying to reinvent my camber/caster/toe angles because he felt they were better. I just want an arm that's tubular, and is really close to what it was from the factory so that I don't need to special order some ultra rare ball joint because someone tried to make these control arms make your g body handle like a ferrari is all I'm saying. It should be bolt it up, use a few shims here or there maybe, and take it in for the final alignment. My car wasn't smashed before, and is aligned now with 2 shims on all four corners. I shouldn't need 7 afterwards.
