Hi there - I have a 72 GTO that I'm in the process of redoing the frame/suspension.

I had originally purchased all new stock rubber control arm bushings and new proforged balljoints. When I pushed out the stock balljoints from the lower control arms I found a crack in the in the control arm.

In addition the cross shafts in the upper arms are seized and require replacement.

I figure by the time I source "new" used lower control arms, take all the bushings out, buy new cross shafts and get the arms sandblasted/powder coated i'll easily be in the $500-600 range plus i'll have to install all new bushings yet. (prices in Canada are much more expensive I find)

Looking on OPGI's website I found a set of tubular control arms for about $450 which with exchange will be pretty close to the same money. My question is has anyone run them before? are they any good?

I worry about the quality of the balljoints (which I guess I could remove the new ones from the arm and use my proforged ones). But how about the bushings they use and/or the welding?

Any experience/info on these would be great,

Thanks,
Steve M.
