Light strip, but rarely 1/4 mile? Aren't we talkin' the same thing hee...?

Somebody help a Kitty out with this

bulloch27 · November 25th, 2011, 09:05 AM

I'm conused about that too.

n03stang · November 25th, 2011, 09:45 AM

1/8th mile maybe he means. Same thing if you ask me though

Macunicorn · November 25th, 2011, 11:26 AM

It depends on ur budget. There are quite a few nice K's out on the market.

doubleohvert · November 25th, 2011, 12:28 PM

I hat to bash, but i got my control arms from PA. took almost 2 months to get them, and the weld that holds the spring perch to the arm broke 2 days after install. it took a week to get ahold of them, and I had to pay return shipping then it took another month to get the "new" (re just re-welded and re-powder coated them)control arms. they're still sitting in my closet for over a year now.

If you got the coin this fits the requirements.

tweety_5150 · November 25th, 2011, 02:24 PM

well i was able to get more money in the mustang fund so depending on the price i might be able to do the full set up is the UPR k member any good?

bulloch27 · November 25th, 2011, 02:39 PM

The whole UPR kit is like $600. Not a bad deal. I've installed them too and the fit is pretty good. It's more strip oriented and not super strong but as long as you remember that and take it easy it should be fine.

tweety_5150 · November 25th, 2011, 02:47 PM

yea it wouldn't get much abuse im not into autox

any opinions on this k member http://www.ebay.com/itm/Granatelli-M...item5646d888c1

MATT02GT · November 25th, 2011, 03:22 PM

Might check out racecraft, That is what I run and its a pretty good bang for the buck imo. Fitment was great also.

I don't just mean autox. To give you an example I did a tubular front install for a guy two months ago. Last week he comes back complaining about noise and bottoming out so I had him take me for a ride. After he hit the rairoad tracks at 60 mph and bottomed out the 175 lb front springs I explained to him in a not so nice way that he was a fucking idiot. You have to be gentle, there's not a lot of meat on the A-arm mounts and the Ks are pretty skimpy also. They're made to drop weight, not to withstand what I would call "a normal driver".

RFM 40th V6 · November 25th, 2011, 06:08 PM

The qa1 is what I run and they have bolt in perches for he springs. I actually have the perches for sale since I don't need them. Also, please note that you either have to modify your stock arms to work or get fox body a arms. Otherwise you'll need coil overs and tube a arms with a qa1. Built very strong though!

thats some crappy customer service right there.

OP, i'm happy with my upr setup.

tweety_5150 · November 26th, 2011, 03:16 AM

i might go with the qa1 or upr what shocks can you use for the coil overs?

i know right. In his defense though he said he had been busy, but that was still no excuse for a broken weld on such an important piece. could have been real bad has it happened while driving. to the OP, MM makes good stuff. I was going to go full PA, but all that happened. Id like a MM but my issue with them is that Id like a on3 kit but can't find any info on if either of the MM kits work with either of the on3 kits.I had a QA1 on my previous car, it was a nice piece and fitment was dead on, but didnt have it on the car so no long term reliability experience. I have a buddy that had either a UPR or QA1 on his car, and it broke. dont remember if it was a weld or the actual member itself, but he was doing close to 80 on the interstate and veered off the road a bit.
