I took the pictures from the e-bay sellers and went to a independent auto parts shop that specializes in parts for Japanese cars. They had a vendor who distributes the parts, and I ordered them. They met the E-bay price, in fact they were a few dollars cheaper. I had the new control arms with new ball joints the next day.
Two more things I found--the auto parts store had 2 vendors for the parts. One was priced at dealer price, more than $200 a side. The other vendor I ordered was $70/side.
The other weird thing--on E-bay they're advertised as non-handed. Same part fits both the right and left side. The parts I ordered were different for the right and left sides. I saw a small difference between sides where they mount to the car, and I believe the one size fits all won't work.
