Pro comp tubular control arms?

Has anybody used these control arms? They advertise Del-lalum bushings like Global west. They sure are cheap enough.

As long as your not wanting to put a front mounted rack and pinion on it they should be ok. These will not work with a front rack steering set up.

And the price is right!!!!!!!!!

Why not with the front rack set up?

The lowers arn't shaped right to clear the steering shaft out the rack to the steering arm on the spindle. TRZ has the ones the are for a front mounted rack and so does David Lemmonds here in this form but are much higher in price.

I have TRZ's with stock spring pockets. My class wouldn't allow coil over when I bought them.

Yeah these are chinese made too. Thats why they are so cheap. Man I don't understand how they can build the same thing as Global west at half the cost and still pay for all the shipping and import tax. Must be slave labor or something. They claim same as stock design just better.

I have a friend that uses pro comp stuff and he has had good luck and service from their stuff. He has a set of cnc heads for a big block chevrolet 505ci motor with a super victor intake and a 1050 dominator and a 4-7 swap cam and it ran in a 2800 pound tube frame chevelle that is counting driver ran a 5.70 in the 1/8 mile. He has ran the motor for 2 years and he has internal other parts in his motor from pro comp as well. This season he is putting the motor in a 2300 tube frame Pontiac Astre.
