Tubular or Boxed control arms?
I am going to be ordering some new BMR non Adj control arms. What would you guys recommend? Boxed or Tubular? (search function is still locking up my IE)

Boxed would be stronger but if its a streetcar then tube would be more than sufficient. Its really up to you, you'll be happy with either choice

If your getting LRCA with regular poly bushing, it's not going to handle "nice", The rear control arms need to allow the rearend to articulate without binding, with regular poly bushings you will have binding, which equals "not nice handling"!

if properly lubed you shouldnt have anymore binding with a poly bushing than a stock rubber bushing...probably less even. the only real use for boxed arms is for really high power drag cars.

Hello
Hello,
I just wanted to through this out there for you as an option. I see that you are looking to set your suspension up for more of a street car and I just wanted to leave you know we also have tubular rear control arms available as well. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer. If you have any questions about anything leave me know and I will be glad to help!
