Mean Street Front Suspension Question

[LXguy]

Hey:

I was wondering is tubular front control arms are allowed in Mean Street.

It says that tube K-members are allowed, as well as coil-overs, but says control arms are "stoc replacement".

:confused:

Thanks!

Looks like to me you can use a tubular k-member, coil over struts but you have to use stock/stock type a-arms. Tubular a-arms are illegal. I bet someone will show up with tubualr a-arms, because they mis-read the rules.

It states "OEM or aftermarket"... I take that to mean one can use tubular control arms...

It does say OEM or Aftermarket, but it does also say stock replacement.

On my car, I don't know if you can run coil overs, unless you have tubular A-arms.

Tubular is fine. Sorry about the confusion.
