Default new control arms...

I just bought my Z off craigslist and I'm not very savvy when it comes to this stuff... I brought it to lex brodie for an alignment an they said I need new front lower control arms and rear brake rotor and pad repair.

I'm wondering if I should wait till I have enough to upgrade my brakes to a better system? Brembo or something? And maybe my suspension too? Nismo? Or is the front lower control arm something completely independent of a suspension kit? I really have no idea what I'm doing and I want my car to drive awesome... right now I can tell she's an old lady.

I'm pretty close to just goin to napa and ordering control arms and brake rotors/pads and not worry about aftermarket stuff... but I eventually want it to perform as well as it possibly can!

if it needs to be replace, replace it. if you can afford it, upgrade rather than replace. things that relates to suspensions and brakes should never be hold off on if they need to be replace.

Front lowers are not part of any suspension package. Normally the bushings go bad, and you can just replace the bushings to improved ones like Whiteline
