to box or buy

i have heard that u can box your own LCA's and they would preform as good as ones that u can buy..aswell as the panhard bar and the front lower a-arms...how good does this work and how does it preform compared to the aftermarket peices?...and also what would u use to box them?

Yea you can box your stock parts just by using thick metal. No it wont be as good as tubular parts. And also the problem is gonna be that its heavier. The stock parts are heavier then the tubular parts. So if you add metal to the stock parts they'll be EVEN heavier then the tubular ones. My advice dont buy anything unless its the best. In the end if you buy the cheapy stuff you'll regret it and you'll be sick thicking about the cash/time you wasted.

Exactly what he said. If you're not worried about weight right now or are short on cash, go ahead and weld up a couple pieces of metal. When you want to get serious and want to remove unnecessary weight, and get better performance, save for Tubular versions.
