Anyone out there have opinions on good sources for boxed trailing arms?

Is it best to buy the pieces and have a professional weld them on or buy them outright from someone?

Having been seriously burned buying aftermarket parts, i.e., parts not being what the vendor said, I'd like to have a better experience this time.

The original argument was to prevent flexing or bending of the arms.

The thing is that on virtually every 914 in existence, the whole car is gonna flex and wiggle all over, unless it's caged, seam welded and so forth. So the boxed arm thing seems kind of silly to me.

I have them on my car, but they were done by the PO. I had to have the welds finished/cleaned up because they weren't good.

BTW these things are heavy too.
