There control arms literally fell apart on my friends 05/06 GT. Explain to me that, and the fact it happened again later down the road, and maybe i'll think about buying something from them.

They are supposed to be direct copies of MM Kmembers so it probably depends on Hung Lo in China being in a good mood or not when putting it together.

Actually when I called QA1 they told me outright that since this is a street car NOT to buy their kit. They said it's too weak for the street. QA1 told me the best setup would be either gms with their coil overs or MM with their coil overs if I wanted to spend a lot more money.

GMS is a proven company but many of the small minders think that since they are a popular import company that their american car products must be rice.. This is absolutely not true.
Heck they upgraded my to the platnum kit (newer design that's stronger) for free. I got their 900$ kit for 615$ just because they had the exta and didn't want to make me wait for their next set of plain K members to get done.

I'm taking it get alighned today!

The member weighs 39lbs and the A arms are 8lbs each. The welds are as good as they get with no grinds or slag.

Small minders huh? Just because you have a built 4.6 2v doesn't make you any more qualified then myself. I've built more cars then I can remember, and i've had GMS. Nothing to great, granatelli has always been junk to me. I'd run UPR before them period.

I'm more qualified than you for many reasons but this isn't a forum I like to have pissing contests on. You don't like GMS we get it ...

Hows the welds? I heard the quality has gotten way better over the last 18 months.

I've been putting my shortblock swap on hold so i can do the K at the same time.

It's called your full of yourself. You think I was born last night apparently. It's not a contest when I've had qa1 upr mm and all. It's nothing new to hold a gms part in
my Hand. Mustangs are what I do

most suspension products are identical replicas of someone else's design. there is only so many ways to make a certain part to do a certain job. Why would they make them look different than MM's K-member if that is the best place to put the supports to stop it from flexing?
