Hi there. So I am looking for a maybe non-existent kit to box my factory rear arms. I've been looking and just see the regular tubular/ alloy/adjustable stuff along with torque boxes. Basically I'm just looking for I guess a four piece pre-cut kit to zap in. My welding guru can do it; he just suggested seeing about a pre fab setup. The car is a driver & I don't feel like tinkering around (then losing) any adjustments. If this rings a bell with anyone let me know please. Thanks!

I've never seen a kit like that. There are plenty of non-adjustable arms out there that you don't have to tinker with. Probably similar in price to what you're going to pay for the fab work.

From what I understood, the factory control arm will twist under load (they are designed this way), and the factory rubber bushings also have a lot of give to them

If you box the factory arms, they will no longer twist. This then means the rubber bushings will have to do all the work and they will get destroyed quickly.
