Best Tubular K Member for Street Duty?

[97Bullitt]

I've been looking for ways to lose weight, and free up space on the front end, but have been unsure thusfar on a good setup.

QA1 says strip duty only, and it also says it must use it's coilover kit, so that one is out.

I've been looking at either
AJE K Member and A arms from Latemodel


Or UPR's k member kit.

I am planning on running Eibach Pro System, so I need something I can just slap my shocks/struts/springs in.

Any advice is appreciated.

The upr kit is priced pretty cheap with front coilovers it's what's I'm running on my car

 

[97Bullitt]

but if I don't want coilovers?

Would the AJE with A arms(with cups) work for just regular spring/struts?

go with pa racing. here is mine

they make it where you can have stock a arms with springs, or coil overs. best fit i had ever seen. and i had qa1, and upr on past cars.

thats funny, ive been riding QA1 for over a year now. egh, who knew.

Yea my other car has maximum motorsports k member but I haven't driven it yet so I'll prolly have to wait till spring now

So basically what we are saying is I either have to re use my stock A arm, or go coilover???

I was looking at this

I am redoing my suspension, and doing it all at the same time, so what I was hoping was to swap K member/A arms, add my eibach kit up front, That way I'd only have to do the front end once.

i like coil overs personally. if you can flip the coin for struts and coil overs your already ahead in technology and correct geometry.

i would go with pa racing thats what im running

Can't go wrong with Team Z

I did MM k-member. I've noticed a pretty good difference in front end grip, how it did not feel like there was any weight savings over stock k-member. Front end grip was well worth it though

Grigs I believe has lifetime warranty

I'm running QA1 03-04 cobra arms and Ebiach Pro system. No problems yet.

 

[97Bullitt]

How do you like the pro system?

I'd heard it's a bit rougher, but handles outstandingly.

I can live with rough, I just want to turn!

Get MM then. It's built for road racing and durability in mind. And it's not rough ride either. If anything it actually made the front end ride better, because it's stiffer and makes suspension do more work, rather than chassis flexing, and bouncing all over the bumps.

 

[Musturd]

If the budget allows it you can't go wrong with there k member I didn't use there a arms tho Cus they don't make adjustable ones

 

[Mika]

I like the way the suspension feels. It certainly turns when you want it to, and I don't think it's too rough but it's not my daily driver.

But all need coilovers?

But all need coilovers?

whether you do or do not use coilovers depends solely on what A-Arms you decide to go with. If you go with a tubular A arm WITHOUT a spring perch, you have to use coilovers. If you get A arms WITH a spring perch, you can decide yourself on if you want to run coilovers or not.
