Control arm upgrades

I need to replace one of my control arms on a 86 911.
Somehow the brace/pipe part is bent down.
Not sure how this could happen or how long ago.
What other upgrades can I do while in there?
Street car sees about 6 DE a year.
Thanks

Like Nine9Six said, go to ER and melt a credit card. While the a-arms are off sand blast them and powdercoat them your favorite color. Put ER bushings on both ends and get the ER friction control mounting kit as well. Get monoballs for the top of the strut, slap in some decambered ball joints, add in Bilstein sports and you are good to go. Maybe turbo tie rods if you haven't already and a good corner balance and alignment. Then go start on the rear :-)
