Tubular A Arms

Not much information to work with, 1996 Pontiac _____?
Firebird? FWD conversion? Traditional Super Stock or Modified (super stock).
FWD conversion, Yes. Traditional Super Stock, No.....based on the way I read the rule book. Modified in Super Stock, gets a little fuzzy there.
I'm sure the others will chime in here, but my answer is Yes, No, Maybe....It depends.

OP states "1996 Firebird Pontiac". Since there were no FWD Firebirds, there would be no FWD Conversion Firebirds. So the only question needing an answer is "Can 1996 stock Firebird control arms be replaced with tubular pieces"? Per the 2020 Rule Book, the answer is "no".

Yep, you're right. I was slowly typing with my fat, old, fingers while he was editing his post to say "firebird". All I got to see was "1996 Pontiac".

D'oh.

No reason to feel you have to explain anything, Tom. We're all friends here.
