What do you mean stress on the A frame joints, if you mean the lower control arms, No, these are designed with chrome moly three piece heim joints, they pivot with the arc of the strut/wheel and the suspension only has about 2.5" of travel. There is no load on the lower arm, it is only for control... unless you were to hit an unreal pothole, even then, this is constructed of 4130 chrome moly and will stand to the greatest of punishment.

^ if i had tht car i wouldnt risk racing it, why becasue ill just die or have an heart attack if i crashed and wreck the car. but with tht k20 engine it should be an sleeper for sure. becasue k20 engine swaps are rare (were i live at least).
