Keep us informed, and I will too, as to how your tubular change over progresses.

I ordered and installed mine in the spring of 2002...at taht time GW was int eh process of releasing the lowers. The QA1 shock compatible ones came first but I didn;t want to go that way (don't ask me why, I jsut didn't want to move toa coil over) and so GW lagged on devolping/producing the Koni shock lower arm. I got tired of being told "they'll be here next week sir...but you should talk to Doug anyway" and having doug say "We jsut can't get the quality high enough and have trouble with our vendor..would you like to move toa coil over? We have those in stock."
Anyway, I did my whole suspension with the del-alum including the tubular A arms.
I mostly went with the tubulars for strength and the weight saving over stock. To be honest, I also thought they looked cool. I still think the GW has the best handle on early F-body handling.
