Tubular or Boxed LCAs?

[AZ3.8Camaro]

I have been getting some NASTY wheel hop lately, my question is... will tubular control arms suffice? or should I get Boxed? BTW I will be shooting for 12s on of these days... (As if it will ever happen)

Well i have the tubular control arms Poly/Poly bushings. I pull 1.65 60 foots. I love them.

i would go with tubular, they're cheaper adn most likely good enough..i figure that if 6 second door cars are built out of tube, it will be enough for even a 11 or 10 second f-body...

Tubular is strong enough, and its also tortionally stronger. Not great for handling, the poly bushings, but hell for drag racing theyre great :D

Have you considered going with the G2 rod-end kind instead, or maybe double rodended?

[AZ3.8Camaro]

Nope. I am in it for drag racing only. I figured boxed or tubular poly/poly would be perfect. I guess I will get tubular. Might as well...
Thanks.

Well, nee ner nee ner nee ner, I pull 1.63's on boxed [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But they are heavy as a mo fo.
Boxed seem great for all around
Tubular for straightline

Another vote for tubular. Preferably BMR. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Go with BMR Tubular LCA's. That's what I have and I love them. Go check out http://www.acaenterprises.com/catalog/ for some great prices on BMR stuff.

Well I ordered the BMR Tube LCAs with Poly/Poly for $98 dollars! Since I got such a steal, I ordered a poly trans mount too. For $17! Now I just need slicks!
