    Your car doesn't have aluminum control arms.

      Matt is right, our iS's have steel control arms, Unless you have some aftermarket one. but maybe you can turn this damage into an upgrade opertunity... get offset bushings, like the M3's have

              no problem, like i said maybe; if your income is fine with it... use this opertunity to upgrade.
