So I just purchased the chrome moly UPR K member kit with coil over conversion, bump steer kit, camber caster plates, and a 31 spline center section. Lots more to follow tomorrow. Thanks uncle sam for raping me in taxes throughout the year so I could get a big return to make my ride more fun... But still... Fuck you uncle sam, you crooked bastard.


Before anyone bashes me for that, I'm a vet too.

Edit: updated list on post #19

Sweet deal man. I'm waiting on mine as well to get my rear suspension more stout.

Jealous. I need a better job. Or Rent some kids for a bigger tax return

Nice, you'll have to let me know how tough it is putting that k-member in is, and how much more it opens up under the engine. I definitely see one in my near future.

Same here, was looking at that kit to reduce some weight in the front. Let me know how good it is being a DD. Some were skeptical about sticking that k member on a DD so your input would be appreciated.

[Cabikejumper]

What did the kit run you?

I was looking at mm k member and was ~2200 plus shipping.

[NickPohlAandP]

I will absolutely post about the driveability

[NickPohlAandP]

The K kit was $699

$2200? Fuck that noise.

I'm more interested in the clearance and access it gives you. Getting at anything on the bottom side of the motor is a giant pain in the dick with the stock one, not to mention long tube clearance.

That was with springs a arms everything?

Maybe I added wrong? Mm said I need xxx parts for it to work and came out to ~2200.

I'd like to buy a k member when I get my headers in. But unsure of what all I actually need.

Dont you also have to buy the specific shocks/struts that kits made for?

Thats the onlything off the top of my head I can think of thats not included

Hey your talking about two different kits.

MM= maximum motorsports

The kit the OP bought is Upr. Maximum has better ratings but upr's alot more affordable and produces pretty descent results from what i've read

[I8ACMRO]

Mm kits are made for koni, bilstein, or tockico struts. Upr can use stock or really just about anything. You will need a pair of billet steel cc plates, cuz of aluminum not having the ability to hold the weight put on the front. Also, 4bolt cc plates are a bit better just for the added adjustability.

[Cabikejumper]

Gotcha Gotcha.

So with the upr you can use stock a arms, springs, everything?
What's the spring rate you get nick?

Sounds like your stang is coming together nicely nick. Looking good

No. Upr has a full kit (co's, a arms included). Only 2 k members I have seen can use stock and that's Steeda, and I believe QA1 or AJE

I have this kit installed if you would like pics I can post some.

Nick, any questions call me and I'll help you through the install.

As far as space underneath...I installed my Mac longtubes with the k member in and had no clearance issues. I also bought the 3/8th "spacer" kit with the upgraded bolts. It drops the engine lower in the bay which helps with the Termi swap.
