    Are the upper and lower control arms you can get on ebay any good. Anybody using them? I have a little wheel hop problem I need to cure.

    Thanks

    try UMI top quality products made in the USA. Have the tubular lowers and adjustable uppers. they have sales evrey now and then as well. not saying thats what you need but they work well on my car and never have had an ounce of wheel hop. Greasable Poly bushing no sacrifice in ride quality either.

    Which is stronger or flex less the boxed lowers or tube?

    Thanks

    Well, I'm an accountant - not an engineer, but I would guess that when comparing an equal length of squared vs tubular that the squared would flex less assuming the welds were good. I have not read anything to back that up though.

    I installed UMI tubular upper and lower arms last December. I agree, product is top quality. Car is alot better planted during takeoff and cornering. I highly recommend UMI.
