Those look just like the Desertkart trailing arms??  If I'd known you wanted to use them, I could have sent you the bent ones I have.  1st Time you get 1' air the will bend and top of tire will be leaning in.  Try putting some light plate across tubes or a diagonal.  Looking at arms from back, they twist clockwise.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

Just an idea for you, You could run Fox 2.0 air shocks and save some $$$. Looking at your car, I don't see the need for running coilover shocks IMO. 8) 8) 8)

The man on DTS to talk to about Fox air shocks is DS race. He knows those shocks inside and out.

the arms and frame are all out of 1 1/4 inch od DOM tube its pretty strong stuff
i may just add plate to the arms if they bend..... i can straiten them thats a car o liner frame rack with a measuring system the frame is on i done think you can get a better jig to build on i didnt build the frame on it i got it after but it came out so square useing the jig table i welded together myself .
every thing at this point is just tacked and i am adding bracing to the front arms too.
