Bought an diff from centre road wreckers for $40 (4.11:1), Jollys on Greens Road Dandenong South is $55 (3.9:1)
Control Arms would suspect around roughly $15-$25

I've got diff's out the wazoo, what ratio you after?

Can't help you with control arms but the 3 wreckateers in albion park rail (behind the mitsubishi yard) are very well priced, they'd be my first call.
