I have an 04 WRX 4 sedan donor but the front lower control arms are bent.
Can I use the WRX STI aluminum control arms and if so, what years?
These seem to be plentiful on EBay.

Assuming they are for model years 2007 and prior, should be no problem. A bunch of us, myself included, bought the aluminum ones. I haven't yet mounted them, but I have test fitted them and they seem fine.

04-07 Usdm Sti arms will work. The spt/ Sti arms new are 300-350 if you look around, try flatirons tuning

STI Aluminum Control Arms for the 02-07 WRX
Designed by Subaru Technica International for the WRX Sedan, these replace the stamped-steel OEM control arms with light weight aluminum, and also incorporate stiffer rubber and pillow-ball bushings. This reduces your unsprung weight and deflection under hard cornering to improve handling.
Sold as a pair.
Will not fit WRX Wagon

Check with Somerset Subaru. They are a FFR vendor and are promising good pricing. Nice to have new parts with new bushings.
Check the General Discussion section.

Make sure you get the ball joint bosses also.
