    I love the badass look of the Billet and got them for a great deal, about same price as most sell with tubular so I couldn't resist, lol. Fuel boost wheels 265/65/r18

    The billet arms are aluminum. Do you think they are equally as strong as the tubular ones?

    I would assume they should be much stronger. It is aluminum but quite thick.

    Disregard. I was getting misinformation and was confused myself so I thought I'd throw the question out there.

    You get them installed?

    I've seen some people recommend them and some say not to do it, so I'm going to wait and see. I'm planning on putting the kit on hopefully sometime this week. Fedex screwed me and only delivered 3 of 4 boxes, so I'm missing the front setup. Got the rears, aal, & UCA's.

    A little update...the diff drop that they recommend is actually a top spacer to create a diff drop. It's a $36 kit. Installers say the cv angles will be stressed without it. They've done 3 so far with no problems. I'll be adding the kit.
