Mounted new front controll arms, replaced front brake pads, replaced front rotors and greased the slider pins now.
The car is handling great again and brakes straight as an arrow.
The issue seems to have been with the brakes themselfes not the controll arms as replacing just them and checking the alignment did not fix the issue, but servicing the brakes did.
Did a bit of high speed driving with the tires aired down to 1,6 and 1,8 bar to check the handling, that will affect my fuel economy a bit as it realy guzzles gas at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125 mph)

Coming up:
3-D laser scan, CFD simulations, modifications of the 3D-model for CFD tests including but not limited to fastback hardtop, spoiler and rear wheel covers
