I have a set of brand new, never used, still in the box Jegster lowers (http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=88861&prmenbr=361) (P/N 550-400820)that will fit your car. I got them to replace mine then a buddy offered me a set of used Hotchkis arms at 1/2 price. I'll let you have them at the Jegs price including the shipping (Jegs charges 8.99 for handling). I'd have to pay shipping to return them anyway and you can save $9. They look like nice pieces. I'll be away from the 5th to the 12th so I couldn't ship them during that time.

OK, they are on my tow car that broke both stock rear arms. I got them, since at 1/2 price, they save me some money. The Jegster arms are good ones. I'd have used them without any reservations if this other deal hadn't come up.
