where can i get front tubular control arms for my six cylinder. does it make a difference if they are made for an 8 or a 6?i havent been able to find them for either

 

QwikTrip got his from PA Performance, along with a complete tubular front crossmember. You might look up his profile and send him an email. He could help you out on all the information you need.

 

All the suspension pieces between V8's and V6's, with the exception of a few factory special optioned parts, are the same. And I can't think of a special-optioned part (i.e. wonderbar, quick ratio steering box, sway bars) that won't bolt up to a V6...

I belive the only thing from a V8 that wont work correctly for a V6 is the front springs. they are deigned to hold the extra wieght. other then that it should all be interchangable.

 

thanx guys, know where i can get all four lowering springs for my sixer?

True... I was speaking more along the lines of the design of the suspensions being the same, and yeah, you could put v8 springs on a v6. Of course like you said, it'd be the wrong application for a factory part...
