Just ordered 1G control arms (Moog RK620484 + RK620485) from Summit racing. But now I'm concerned because according to Amazon, Advance Auto, + ebay these are for 1.8L's only and Summit racing lists them for all 2.0's '90-94. Is it possible 1.8's + 2.0's are the same? Can someone give me mitsu part # for 1g 2.0 FWD turbo control arms?

Update: just cancelled my Summit racing order and they were back ordered anyway which would've been a real pita waiting for the wrong parts LOL Now I have to try and get the correct ones.

They will bolt in. One of them either 1g fwd, or gvr4 has the balljoint moved like 5mm forward. If your just a street beater its no issue as long as you are doing both sides. If your road racing you might notice a difference.
 
I just spoke to Moog and they confirmed they don't have control arms for 1g 2.0's. The guy didn't mention using Galant arms.

Are budget control arms a bad idea? Because I can get a pair for $80 shipped from 1a auto but don't have a clue what brand they are. They come with ball joints but here's the thing, 2-1/2 yrs ago I put moog ball joints + energy suspension bushings on my stock control arms but they're rusting through now. So I'm thinking maybe order these cheapies and either swap ball joints + bushings or perhaps just swap the ball joints. Not sure though and could use advice and really on a budget.
