I was going to go with UPR's set, but decided not to.
Going from aluminum cylindrical tubular to steel square tubees

$280 isn't a bad price for them!

Anyone have these? Comments?

Also, why does American muscle have the same ones ( i think, ) for a heck of a lot more $ ?
where the uppers are 170 and lowers are 200?

unless there shipping counts for a 90$ difference haha
