Question about PA racing tubular control arms(front)

I plan on replacing my 110,000 mile worn out V6 springs front and rear with an Eibach Pro Kit lowering spring set. I figured that while I'm in there, I MIGHT AS WELL replace the lower control arms with some good tubular units from PA racing. Now I have heard that you can't use the PA crossmember with factory a arms, but can you use PA control arms with the factory crossmember? Also, will using the PA arms cause any ride height or suspension geometry issues with the front end? Any input on this would be most appreciated. Thanks, Paul Moore

ive heard a lot of complaints on various boards about the a arms not being designed to work with a spring well. clunks, makes noises, spring shakes around, what have you.

i put rubber isolators on mine and have no problems. those springs are in there so tight i can kick them and they wont move in the perch. im happy with mine.

i use PA units with k member too. i dont know if they will fit on a stock k member. looks like they would, but ive never done it. do it all while you are right there.... only 6 more bolts.
