[QUOTE="4sdvenom, post: 5485265, member: 13315"] I think one thing overlooked with going to a tubular front suspension is the fact that now the shock towers are loaded, and bearing the spring pressure from the coilovers! They were never designed for this, and transmit alot of noise, creaks, etc., because the springs are putting all the suspension load to them. From the factory this is the job of the K-member, and fram rails. Long story short, I think simply adding a strut tower brace would go along way towards alleviating some of the creaks when turning, and hitting small bumps, and transitions in the road. Not by any means a cure all, but at least the shock towers will have some lateral support from each other, and will keep them from moving independantly from each other! With that said, I am getting ready to put in a UPR chromoly K and A arms set-up with a MM coilover kit. Ken :beer: [/QUOTE]
