Suspension Weak Link?

I was at the suspension shop today having the rear camber altered and having a bit of a chat to the owner of the shop about some bent lower control arms that were sitting on the counter. (I didn't get around to asking what car they were from). I was told the owner had had an off track excursion, lost control and clipped the edge of the track going side ways bending the arms. I asked wouldn't stronger arms be the answer and was told fitting stronger arms would transfer the force somewhere else. Sure, all elementary but not something I had considered. (I don't know what I don't know). He said it was cheaper to replace the arms as opposed to potentially bending sub-frames or bodies.

Maybe something for consideration?
