72 cutlass stock a arms vs umi a arms

My front a arms need new bushings is it worth putting new a arms on or just put new bushings in? It's just a street car and I just put new umi rear arms in with sway bar

The choice is yours my friend. The stock bushings will last a long time and are about $25/side. Might as well add new ball joints @ $20/side. So for $50 and a bit of paint your back on the road.

I was in same predicament... went with Tubular control arms. Then decided to add some coil overs.

Looks very nice. Hows it drive, whats your stance look like, how far can it be raised or lowered? Post some pic's of it on the ground when you get a chance.

It was sitting too low with the springs I ordered originally. Waiting for some new ones to ship. Haven't driven it yet with the new setup, so can't tell ya on the handling.
