[QUOTE="Rice_slayer, post: 785437, member: 9927"] Well, according to the techs at my work, my k-member is toast on my car from the accident. Which is all fine because I was going to replace it with a tubular one anyways. Problem though, I don't feel like spending the money to have the other mechanics at work due my mods(coil-overs, tubular a-arms and c/c plates) because Labour rate is $100 an hour and god knows how much extra I'd get charged for this stuff that I can do by myself. Here is my question, I plan on ordering a QA1 Tubular K-member for it because it can be used with stock a-arms, which will probably be in for maybe a month or two at the most then winter hits and I transfer everything over to tubular and coilover set-up. Would I have any issues just getting them to bolt in the K-member with the stock c/c plates, struts, springs, control arms and drive it like that for a bit until I swap it out? I just don't want to spend the $500-$800 labour when I can do the work myself later on, but since the k-member is coming out, might as well get them to put the one I want in :P. [/QUOTE]
