Re: Tubular A-arms
Well, IMO, they look really cool if thats a factor. They will upgrade your suspension if it is worn out which is nice if you need to get involved in balljoints and so forth. The biggest positive is that in lowered apps, the upper usually adds some positive camber to correct for the springs being shorter. The manufacturerer also tries to improve balljoint angles. Downside is generally the price, IMO.

Re: Tubular A-arms
Lightweight, some are stronger than others, any good brand is gonna be strong enough for "normal" use. Some have geometry differences and others just allow for better balljoint articulation for applications such as drop.
I am a fan of RideTech Strong Arms  AND Porterbuilt Street Rods
