Hello all

Does anyone know if there is any benefit in tubular upper and lower control arms. Mcdonald bros sell them for $700 and $800 complete with bushes and ball joints.
but what would the advantages be?
obviously the choice of coil overs would be one, how much better would they be?

cheers

McDonald Bros don't supply an Engineers, so you'd need to factor in that cost.
Stronger, less flexible, and they can make them shorter or longer as required.
definately a great upgrade, and they look the horn too.

I run tubular chrome-moly arms in my LX sedan, I think there just there for strength and they look better :)

Nah with adjustables you can tailor your pinion angle to a certain degree, it helps after you lower the vehicle etc.
