Both make good quality parts. Can't go wrong with either unless you overpay

The tubular style will tuck up tighter and are 4lbs less then the boxed set-up. If you do not wish for them to be seen from the side of the vehicle then I recommend the tubular set-up. The boxed do not effect ground clearance but do hang approx. 3/8" below the pinch weld under the door and can be seen from the side when choosing a color such as red.

We also offer the tubular style in a 100% bolt in set-up that can be welded at a later date. Just another option.

If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!

Why'd you go with red? You know they're going to stick out under the car, right? If there isn't anything else done to your suspension it should feel better. Also the ride will be a little more harsh due to the stiffer chassis.

Thanks for the order

87formy- Jerry our technical support here runs the boxed style red on his white SS.. they look really sharp hanging down slightly and he gets a lot of questions on them. Its good for business for us

no problem man.

i got the red on purpose. why would i want black on a black car? can you say boring. red will be a nice accent on a black car with red ss badges, and im also going to paint my calipers red

Haha, awesome! I guess I shouldn't be one to judge that sort of thing, all of my stuff is black.
