Driveability issues with tubular parts?

I was talking to a friend of mine who has a VERY nice Mustang, and we were talking about suspension mods. I mentioned that I had been wondering about going coilover all around with a tubular K member and tubular A arms. He said I would hate how harsh the ride would be with all this since I prefer to drive it daily during the Spring/Summer.

You guys have any input?

Thanks,
Jared

The ride would be harsh, also if you got into a wreck your chances of death would be much higher since you would have removed most of the crash bracing such as the stock K.

That is 100% not true. I have a tubed K with tubular A arms, rod ends on all of the control arms, coilover on all 4 corners, and not a single piece of rubber in my suspension. My car rides very nice. So much better then stock. I use all adjustable shocks/struts so I can go from street setting to strip settings. The biggest plus is that my car does not rock at idle becuase of the huge cams.

if you buy a nice chromoly k, your not forfeiting structural integrity.
