I have come across a difference in the front alluminum control arms as to how the front endlinks connect to the arm. I believe I have a set of JDM control arms that I'm putting on my subie, but at work( Jenson Suabru in Napa) we have a USDM control arm on the shelf in the back, and the design for the front endlink mount is different to mine that I have a home. Here are some pics:

USDM:



Notice the nice 90 degree mount.

JDM:



Notice how it's angled???

What's going on here? I'm I going to run into mounting issues?? Is there special endlinks that I'll need??

Discuss!

Does anyone on here have the JDM ones on their car??

Is the US one off of a 04-06 STi, 07 STI, or is it the SPT one?
04-06 USDM STi cars were outfitted with JDM Spec-C front control arms. I will have to crawl under my car to see if the endlink tab is at an angle or not.
