So I'm starting to look doing a full front suspension rebuild on my 71 Swinger. The one think I'm starting to get a head ache over is the control arms. I was planning on doing a rebuild with everything QA1 makes (minus k member). But I've started to see some threads talk about how tubular control arms are a wast and a good set of bushings in stock control arms would do just fine for street use. The plan is to re-do the front suspension when I swapping in a BB. The car will be used for driving around town, some highway runs, and maybe once or twice in its life a trip down the track. While I'm game to spend a little more money when I see an advantage I'm not rich by any sense of the word so if there isn't a benefit in going with tubular control arms outside of them being a little lighter and looking cool I'll just rebuild my stock arms.
