In my opinion,... these are the best tubular control arms on the market.

Another vote for the porterbuilt arms! They are a work of art

Very true, but you also get what you pay for

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10
ARTs are nice too- that's a good price. I've heard of upper balljoint mounting issues with the CPP arms- dunno if they've corrected this...

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10
I worked for air ride as sales/tech/ warranty and I can say from experiance there where 0 issues with the ART arms as for the CPP arms through the range of motion they where good no ball joint bind and we have been driving the crap out of it...

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10
Bey Jon how are you doing man?
With the art arms do they do anything about centering the wheel? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10
This is why I say buy the arms from Nathan at Porterbuilt. Tell him what you are trying to achieve and he will build to suit. He really does not have an inventory, that has to do with the two week joke, everything he does is almost considered custom. Push the wheel forward, move the wheel in, leave it in the stock location, all can be achieved with porterbuilt. Not bashing any of the other companies, i am sure the quality is the same. He is willing to go just that little extra mile for ya. It does cost you a little more money, that goes with custom made parts.
