I have the adjustable uppers and tubular lowers Vs boxed original arms, and i also have standard un boxed ones.
Which ones to use for hill climbs etc they will be connected to a 9".

Regards
Dan

the trailing arms are designed to twist flex as the car rolls so boxed arms while stronger are not necessarily a good thing in my opinion, in a race car where components are pulled apart and checked on a regular bases that is not so bad, I see Rexy's have rose joints on one end which would make them more flexible then standard arms. So given the choice I would go for the tube ones

If you can get away with them and don't need to run the standard style rear sway bar I'd be using the tubular ones all round, the adjustable uppers will be handy. Cruiza I don't see any rose joints, they look like normal bushes to me...?
