Wish I hadn't pitched them sometimes though.

Just to be clear as this is a first I'm seeing if correct, you're talking about the fronts and not the rears correct? What broke, where, pics?

Yup the front. First half of the session felt good then I started getting severe vibrations under braking. Rotors looked fine and the car felt ok in the paddock so I pulled the wheels and saw that the front UCA bushings had completely given up. The other side were almost as bad so I chucked 'em.

Maybe I was just lucky... I believe I only had 4-5 track days on them at that point. I'd have to check my notebook.

So it didn't break, the bushings just gave out? Not like the arm cracked in half or welds failed. The back 2 on each arm or the front one?

Can Somebody Explain to a suspension noob what the hell replacing one arm for another helps? I understand the camber arms... but what's all this other business in there??

Yup. Just bushings. Both on passenger side drivers side had some play but not nearly as bad.
