Help....Tubular control arm?
 
I'm finally getting back to work on my project. I had my frame blasted and it's time to start putting things back together. Anyway, I don't really want to use the factory control arms and I'm not sure I want to drop the coin for a full replacement front suspension. I currently have drop spindles and I'm looking to get a set of tubular control arms. Whose do you like? The only stock height ones I have found are CPP and it seems better to run that with the 2.5 drop spindle that I have with a 1" spring to get it where I want it versus the 3" drop control arms for clearance reasons. Anybody got any insight here that could help me? It would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Are you going to be bagged or static droped? If bagged the only arms I know of that use the factory that are any good is *****************. I'm not sure about static droped though. Dont just the airbagit or their other names, that brand sucks.

What clearance issues are you concerned about with the 3" drop control arms? I have the DJM 3" drop control arms and there were no issues.

In my opinion the djm arms are a waste of money. I had a set on my 71 street truck the top one was light but the botom one was way heavy. I would stick with the cpp arms and drop spindles.
