Hey was wondering if the Tube upper control arms and Lowers that people are going with are street legal?? Seems like a good way to go and bolt on in original spots? Does it free up on more travel or help when installing extra components??
 
only one that i know of that makes a tube lower is cap. and i wouldn't put anything from them on my worst enemy's car. i know the upper arms from RMS are a nice piece. they will let ya adjust more caster into your alignment. with those and a set of their strut rods (http://www.reillymotorsports.com/store/product.php?productid=16167&cat=266&page=1) it really takes all the bind out of the suspension. i couldn't belive it when i saw it on my buddies road runner.
 
ok so it says :Uses 73-up style big balljoint, 72-older A-body spindles will not work
or can be machined to the larger taper


So What do i have to do to my 71 demon to make just the uppers work i'll lleave the lowers alone then And Do people go rod ends or bushing? Or will i need to get new spindles but what do i have to do wheel wise if i change those???

if ya send the spindles to rms i think he will drill them out for ya. give them a call
 
I think he's asking if they are D.O.T approved,hence legal.

People will sell you stuff you cant legally install.

Just curious, but what's wrong with CAP? I recently put upper and lower control arms plus their adjustable strut rods on my car. Their directions were definitely lacking, and I really didn't enjoy the powder coating on the inside of the t-bar cup, but they looked like good products. The strut rods took forever to get adjusted right though, and I definitely wouldn't do that again.

Just curious about your experience...
