Other than Global West, BMR, or Hotchkis, what other companies make tubular upper and lower "A" arms? I just want to know about all of my options. Thanks!!

John's are better than all of the above. He is not new to the market - he has been making them for several years.

There are more pics under for sale section

Those parts look like the TRZ stuff I use on my car. Are they related in any way?

I use Speedway Motors circle track arms, they work great at 40.00/ea.

He is a link for where me and a couple other guys from here got ours. Check for their Ebay auction. You can save a couple bucks. I've had mine on for 1 year and the Chevelle handles pretty good. I've read some other good comments on them here also.

Does anyone know the answer to the $5.00 question.........LOL
