RE: [Chevelle-list] RE: Tubular Front A-arms

[Cecil \"Steve\" Martin]

Clint,          I don't plan on doing off-road racing with my car. Considering that both of them are probably much stronger than the factory stock unit and appears to be beefier than the adjustable track versions some guys use, I think they will do the job.   The bushings are a matter of opinion. Some guys like rubber to stay away from the squeak factor and like the softer response. While those del-la-lum bushing may be the greatest thing since sliced bread ....maybe ... I doubt they account for the $200 difference.   No, they don't have the lowers....yet. A lot of guys only go with the uppers. I beefed up my lower with support welded in the bottom.   Here's the quote he says about the A arms: Crafted from 1" diameter 7/32" DOM steel, they come powder coated black or uncoated. These arms are Tig welded in a jig for precise fit. The ball joint, cross shaft and bushings come installed and the built in droop stop plate and  frame mounted bumper is supplied also! They also have the new offset cross shaft for added camber adjustment.

Have you ever looked closely at a GW tubular A-arm? They look much beefier than the Spartan units and are braced a lot more. What bushings do the Spartan units come with? Are the Spartan units available with DelaLum bushings? Does Spartan build & sell tubular lower A-arms? Do they improve the caster & camber curves? When I looked at the various A-arms on the market,I wanted a set of four with the above qualities.
