WTB: Front control arms

I'm looking for a set of front control arms in good condition to use for my sway bar end link project. As near to new condition as I can get, I don't want to spend a whole ton of time cleaning the metal so I can weld it.

My plan is to weld a small bracket onto the control arm so I can use the rear endlink from an '05 Outback. By not having the endlink attach to the strut as the stock SVX does, I hope to be able to fit STI or Forester suspension.

Here's a picture of the idea:

Yup, still in the market. Let me know how much you'd like for them with shipping to Canada, area code K2J 5E3.

I like the idea... I would rather find a way to mount the STi hub on there though. not only will you have to grind down the SVX hub to get the thin strut braces on, with the STi hub, you can mount Brembos

Has anyone tried fitting an STi knuckle? If the STi suspension were used the only thing that would need to be made to fit is the ball joint, although there isn't anything "only" about that. The steering links, well those are just threaded tie rods. They can be made to work.
