    I just installed my new CPP upper and lower tubular A-arms along with my disc brake kit. The kit (A-arms, not brakes) came complete with upper and lower ball joints and new bolts for around $1,000. I thought I would post a couple of pictures.

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I can't wait to see how the handling changes with this set up.

    Bart, I bought the kit off ebay from this seller: http://www.mattsclassicbowties.com/

    He was very good to deal with and the price was reasonable. Sorry, I can't remember what I paid! But he has a good selection from stock to aftermarket types.

    Hey Harv Happy New Year buddy,is there really a difference between any other Tubular a-arm compared to Global West because the price difference between them is crazy,im looking to get a set myself and was looking at prices and man GB prices are crazy.

    Thanks

    Happy New Year to you and your family. I agree that some pricing is hard to understand. I would never have bought my set if not for the price. When you add up that the price includes upper and lower balljoints, busings and of course the billet upper shaft, the arms themselves are quite cheap. It's the same with rear suspension. I bought uppers and lowers from UMI because of the price and they are well made. I think we tend to lean towards the "big names" when there are alternatives just as good at a lesser price.
    Cheers!
