What is a good strong reasonably priced Tubular upper control arm. I was using speedways last year and they would fold with the lightest touch.

we are about to try the Day Motorsports uppers.... they are probably like the speedways... but they can't be as weak as the new style we got from Harris....round tube chrome with heims going to an aluminum cross half 2 piece deal.... you just brushed someone... and they bent.... 2nd set had a little gusset welded in it... bent one on them also.... going back to the small tube style.... Maybe the $80 afco's or Port Cities are made out of stronger steel tubing....???

bending a $45 upper is better than ripping out the mounts.....

Yeah but it also takes takes out a 150 shock when it folds. Nothing can be as bad as the speedway brand. Afco's do look nice but haven't tried them.

Kieser arms take some abuse It's all I will ever use I have tried Howe arms and speedway along with many other but the kieser/port city arms are by far best bang for the buck
