iam looking to get some rear control arms for my 01 camaro and wondering which is better to get, the tubular ones? or the box ones? is there a big differance between the 2? which is better to get?

 

I had the boxed on my last Z, loved em. Some people say they take away ground clearance with that design...I didn't notice it. They should be a bit more stiff, for lack of a better word, than tubular. BTW I had BMR's, good luck man

 

I'd suggest boxed if you like to 'burn', and tubular if you like to 'turn'. Stay away from poly bushings if you want to be competitive in anything in which the car does something other than go straight.

 

I've heard the boxed LCAs take away some of the room for big slicks. I don't know if that's a major concern for you or not. If not, than yeah go boxed.

 

i think for the average driver/racer the tubular are more than sufficient. i have the poly/rubber combo from BMR to help reduce noise, and i love them.

combined with a poly torque arm mount it all but eliminated wheelhop in the 2 cars i've had em installed on.
