I am planning on ordering adjustable uppers and tubular lower arms from BMR fabrications with poly bushings. Question is this: Are the tubular lower arms better than the factory boxed lower arms i already have or should I just order the adjustable uppers and get some poly bushings for my factory boxed arms? Either way I plan on using the factory sway bar also, but I dont think that would factor into anything as the tubular arms appear to have the correct holes to remount it. Thanks again guys, I just dont want to take off something thats stronger than what I'm replacing it with.


GR-RRR!

Too late, I ordered them up. I like the fact that they will have grease fittings on them anyways.


GR-RRR!

They do have the holes for the sway bar. And they are much, much strong than stock. The round design is also better than the rectangular tube design. Cracks usually start in the corner of the tubing. The round tubing has no place for cracks to start.
