    tubular a arms

    Can you buy tubular a arms with spring perches or are they for coil overs only?

    Thanks.

    Depending on where you get them, you can buy them with or without spring perches. I run a PA racing tubular K member and the A arms can be ordered with or without spring perches.

    I have a used set of 94 - 04 AJE A Arms with spring cup for sale for 225.00. They only have a few thousand miles on them but the powdercoating is flaking off.

    here's the problem... the reason I don't want to use my stock a arms is because with the qa1 k member, my 17x8 04 cobras stick out of the wheel well about an inch. Looks really dumb. I was hoping that the tubular arms helps put the wheels back in. Any input from anyone?

    do the fox arms just bolt up with no problems? are the fox arms just smaller than the 99-04 arms?

    You will need to either run a ball joint spacer or Steeda X2 ball joints, install steering travel limiters to keep your wheels from rubing at full lock, and probably have to cut some of the threads off where the outer tierod screws on to. Other than that they go right on.

    Does anyone know anyone who has front springs laying around? I put my fox arms on and I ended up cutting my springs just a bit too much.

    Racecraft makes a 12" 13" and a 14" chromemoly tubular a-arms.
    I believe the 13" is the fox arm, the 14" is the 94 and up arm and the 12" arm is a race piece to really tuck your wheels on a 94 and up and a normal tuck for the foxes.
