So i have been reading through all the old threads and never really found the answer i was looking for. Most of the people that say if your going to go with a K Member that it should be a weekend/ drag car not a daily ! I want my car to be my DD. So i was looking into all these and looking at going with a Tubular A Arms and i just don't know. I know i need new Ball joints, springs, shocks and I am doing the PBR upgrade since i got it so cheap. And i figure when i do all this it would be smart to just save up drive the car easy and do all this at once. It would be easier then taking the car apart many times to just drop it all and do it all at once. So what do you guys think???

im in that process right now myself....

to be honest with you, i suggest leaving it stock until you get like... $7,000.00 LOL!

im doing the 03/04 cobra a-arm upgrade right now (my ball joints are going out as well..)

when i started, i looked into MM tubular k-member kit. + coil overs for front...

if you do this, i suggest you do:
MM solid steering shaft
small, high TQ starter
LT headers
motor mounts
MM coil over kit
bilstine shocks/struts
quad shocks
slotted rotors/pads


instead, i did the basic cobra arm upgrade...
4 tokico shocks/struts
quad shocks
BBK springs
cobra a-arms
cobra steering rack
MM solid steering shaft
MM solid motor mounts
bushings all the way around
MM CC plates
bump steer kit
brake dust sheilds


at the end of the day, my suspension will be a little bit more.... "well-rounded" than just a front coil over, but i honestly didnt save very much money (maybe a couple hundred bucks.)


i suggest the MM K-member kit after all this work, i really regret it... lol.

If you've got coil overs on, it's easy to drop them and change the a arm.
I did mine all at once. If you have the $ to get all the parts, go for it.
