Re: [Chevelle-list] RE: Tubular Front A-arms

But the point is,Steve,you are not paying for the same thing. Have you ever looked closely at a GW tubular A-arm? They look much beefier than the Spartan units and are braced a lot more. What bushings do the Spartan units come with? Are the Spartan units available with DelaLum bushings? Does Spartan build & sell tubular lower A-arms? Do they improve the caster & camber curves? When I looked at the various A-arms on the market,I wanted a set of four with the above qualities.

I don't mind paying a fair price for a product, but to pay over double for the same part that some other car owners are paying is out of line.   That's why I talked Spartan Rod Works into making tubular uppers for the tall spindle upgrade. They are being sold on E-bay for just under $300.   I realize this doesn't help you since you want to stay stock, but it may help others For a picture and more info see: http://www.chevelles.com/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=006741 .  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:58 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Tubular Front A-arms They are not the cheapest but my preference is the Global West a-arms. Well built and available with Delalum bushings and coilovers. Fatman Fabrications sells a set of decent tubular a-arms that would probably work well on your application,also.

Anything to watch out for? I want to use my factory spindles and disc brakes. These are for a 68 model Chevelle. Thanks, Mike
