Does anyone make tubular LOWER A-Arms?
I see several sources for tubular UPPER A-Arms but no lowers. Seems like this would be a good way to remove weight at the front corners.

Not long ago no one really did have an off the shelf tubular lower a arm now there are a few I think Van Steel and Speed Direct do and there are a few more now too.

Take a good look at the Speeddirect aluminum ones as well. I have been thinking about them. Pretty much all of the aftermarket tubular arms increase the amount of caster (good for modern big tires), but only the SD arms change the inner pivot point, which improves the camber curve and roll geometery.

I believe that the ad says that they are designed for drag race use where spindle casters can range fro 0 to 10 degrees. I admit that I don't know if there are differences between these and those that folks may use for autocross/road race set-ups. No issues with using them for s street driven car. They are nice, lightweight units and work great with coil overs.
