CPP tubular A arms ?
I am looking to put some tubular control arms on my C-10 Super build that is just a chassis now. Specs: 2.5" spindles, 1" frnt springs, Hd Sway bar (link style), 3" rear coils, 2" blocks, super track bar, camaro rear sway bar, kyb drop shocks on all corners, rear shock relocators, and hand built c-notch. Front brakes are stock but will be upgrading to 13-14" rotors and four pistons from either Wilwood or Baer. I have Glocks camaro rear disc setup on the rear.
I am looking at adding front tubulars and wondered who is using what. CPP has some for around 850 for the set with an additional 5* caster added. I wondered about MR. Porterbuilts stuff and what others might have and like. Just trying to find the goods for this project. The plan is to have a real DD that makes 550 rwhp and can carve up the canyons near by when asked and stop like a scared horse! It has a 6.0l and 4l80e that will get a t70 and intercooler next winter once the things is runnin down the road. I have decided its better to get it goin to shake it down then add some boost. Here is a current pict for those that would like to see the picts from Autorama 08 But really want to get opions on tubulars that people are using. I will not be runnin bags on this one. The next one will though. Thanks for the input.

Skip CPP.
(They will get your money on the freight end of the deal) Go with Porterbuilt.

Re: CPP tubular A arms ?
Nathan has coilover tube arms but ,I believe,only work w/the (coilover D-member). CPP tube arms bolt right up but are just coil spring type,,cant tune the ride or height. A coilover setup,all the way around,will be the best for a pro-touring performance goal.
Seeing as how you just want to keep your setup and add tube arms,,the CPP's are well built,look and fit great,,I never got any use out of mine. CPP is a kind of cookie cutter custom parts co. Last edited by Inverter; 12-15-2009 at 02:07 AM. |

Re: CPP tubular A arms ?
I'm thinking porterbuilt's are set up for his dropmember and have had the corrected castor set up for his dropmember. I'm not sure if he makes them for just lowering your vehicle slightly. I would like to see his coilover setup. I've heard some about it, but have not seen anything. I'd ask Nate first, and then check the ccp's.
