Tubular is good. As long as the bushing does not deflect like stock it will ge great.

I didn't know PA made LCAs. I know ownership was shuffled quite a bit over there though.

I'm always leary of EBay auctions w/ Hotmail accounts. PA's contact e-mail is nyytrousboy@aol.com Might want to send questions there to be safe.

The really strange thing is that the 877 phone numbers are different. An 877# is usually a business.

Has a descent amount of positive feedbacks, some of which are from the PA LCA's as well. I'd think this seller is ok to deal with ..

I think alum. is lighter than mild steel and still plenty strong enough. It' doesn't say what type of ends on it so I'm assuming there not that good. I'd recommend QA1 Endura 2000 Series Rod Ends. as soon as I get a job hopefull this weekend and get my 1st paycheck I'm going to make my own. This is a great website about it, where to get the parts, general info., ect ect.

Yes, Nylon bushings are better than polyurethane.

bdc95ta's link is even better.

I'll be selling my bmr stuff this summer to go to spherical ball joints. I was skeptical from day 1 about the benefites of the common aftermarket lower control arms, but people talked me into them saying they worked. I didnt' notice any traction gain until i switched the geometry with the relocation brackets.

Those are what I'm fabbing up/buying this spring... along with the PHR.. but I'm not using his bushing technique.. I'm CNCing aluminum bushings instead of using the hack-saw and bronze bushings...
