where can i take the stock trailing arms to be boxed?? i've tryed an exhaust shop, they told they only do exhaust systems.... if i do it my self, all i need is steel plate, cut into the right shape and weld?? what thickness and material would i need?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

pm osk he has done it

LEX-30T I always see your car on my way home... our shop is not far from you probably a minute down the road from where I see your car parked... we can do them here for you.... If your interested shoot me a PM and we'll go from there.

Pedders sell new ones for about $90 with bushes etc. Thats what I'm gonna get. They told me they are thicker/stronger than standard ones

i have designed a plate for the lower control arms and they should be back from the lasercutters anyday. $80 for the set and you just need someone to weld them on

what are the benifits of boxed trailing arms Leigh?

I'll see if I can find HYPO 6's old lowers that he managed to fold in half Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ahhhhhh kurt! ill post pocs in my advertisers thread as soon as i get them in. mavholio, it stops your trailing arms from folding over like origami when you launch it. ari bent his at wsid and it was trying to push him into the wall. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Originally Posted by VLHERO I have to ask, is it really necessary for your application? well not at the moment, i've got a n/a motor at the moment and since i'm changing shocks and got to replace the bushes for the lower trailing arms i might as well get them boxed. i've heard you get better handling

Quote: Originally Posted by SIK_3LT What thickness are they? 3mm, same thickness as the control arm

Would be good to hear how they go though.
