I called a local dealer here in dearborn michigan,was told about $200 a piece without hardware.

Try PMT or you can make your own lowers and track bar like I am doing. I will be posting all the info within the next week or so.

Here is a ebay seller that also has uppers and lowers, I bought uppers from him and am waiting to see the quality, but they are quite a bit cheaper than PMT.

could try junkyarddog.com, find a set from a salvage yard in the south, hardly any issues with rust and buy them, jyd.com is a nationwide salvage yard site that competes with all other salvage yards that use jyd, and I have had great luck with them, I do the opposite with ac compressors, I get them from the yards up north since they are used much less than we use them in GA.

is this a good deal for upper and lower ones?

$50 worth of steel, $20 in polyurethane bushings, and $30 worth of powdercoat.............


Looks like they are making a killing, that is why I decided to go a different route. But if you don't mind spending the money you probably can't find anything nicer than those.

i am trying to get the upper ones to they both look pretty bad

Did you check out the ebay link I posted? Those are the cheapest aftermarket option I have come across. $183 after shipping and they include poly bushings, you just need to buy some new bolts since they aren't included like PMT, but for the extra $70 that PMT charges I will be happy to raid the bolt bin at NAPA.
