Control arms ?

I am thinking of replacing my contol arms in my rebuild and wanted to know if there is an advantage to going with tubular ones. I was looking at the CPP tubular arms. Or I couls just sand blast and paint my originals. I am planning on installing a 2.5 drop spindle and 1 in lower coil from cpp on the front.

Any experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Kev

Why waste money. Use what you have. Just replace the ball joints. Use mooge
joints.

Re: Control arms ?

if you "drive it like you stole it" then the tubular ones are awesome.
For a cruiser, spend the money elsewhere.
