The Mild and Touring variations MUST be run with our tubular control arms.

This is news to me. Can you expand on why they won't work? I was under the assumption you were ok to run factory arms unless using coil-overs?

There is rack to bushing pivot tube clearance issues with the factory lowers on the Mild and Touring DMs. The bushing and stamped steel surrounding it will contact the rack housing on the driver side.
