Aftermarket A Arms.. Worth it?
Looking into Spohn, UMI, a arms.
Don't plan on lowering, though I might at some point. Planning to autocross sometime as well.
Can I ge away with my stock a arms with del a Lum bushings?
Or do I go with aftermarket a arms?
Thanks!
Chuck

I autoX and I run stock a arms with delalums. No complaints. I painted the a arms and spindles with POR15. From what I've read the tubular arms only cut weight. So if you're going for "every pound counts" I'd say go for it otherwise I would just use stock a arms. Your wallet will be happier too!

Re: Aftermarket A Arms.. Worth it?
One thing to keep in mind some people have issues with using some of the aftermarket a arms with the stock k member.
There are a few Spohn review threads on here with reports of tires positions being off centered in the fender well.
If you're not going to a full coil over or an aftermarket K member there isn't much of a benefict in going to aftermarket a arms. The stock ones are extremely stout pieces.
