tube front suspension
« on: November 20, 2003, 09:29:33 PM »
I might pull the trigger, and buy these! My car needs the front suspension rebuilt, $225 for polygraphite pieces or $400 for these beuties. Has anyone tried them?

Very interesting.  Who makes them, and do you know how much they weigh?

Heidt's Hot Rod Shop has what your looking for, check out the web sight. Suspension, big brakes all good stuff. The lower arms with the Carrera coil over are the way to go if you have a 1974 and up chassis, wont get the 71-73 chassis much lower than stock account the spring heights are diffrent. Carrera has springs that fit the 5in top frame and then taper to the 2.5 coil over adjuster in rates that you guys with v-8"s will need.

I found a good deal on E-bay. Tubular A-arms, all hardware and they are black gloss powder coated. Pair of uppers is $199 and the lowers, $219. The lowers are wide and eliminate the strut rod....really cool i think. Here is the link, check out "View sellers other items" to see the uppers.  For the lower, click on DEMO to see how they attach on the outside of the crossmember.
