Should I replace lower A-arms?
Replacing the cut & heated front coils with ECE 1" coil and 2 1/2" drop spindle. Some discussion in suspension regarding removing stops. My stops are removed and shock mount location has been moved about 1" inboard. I have some replacement arms lined up but is this an unnecessary expense? Should I replace them or good to go with what I have?

Re: Should I replace lower A-arms?
I would say it would depend entirely on what condition your A arms, bushings and ball joints are in now. If they are worn out or damaged replace them and if they seem to be in real good shape keep them.

Re: Should I replace lower A-arms?
I'm replacing any worn components...ball joints, bushings, etc. So no real concern with the stops being removed?
