Front Suspension

How hard is it to install a k member. I want to use MM K member and MM front A arms. Can i use A arms just on stock suspension or is that worthless? I already have C/C plates and order control arms for rear but want to get front suspension does as well so any sugestions would be nice.

K member is probably one of the more difficult components to put in but only because it requires 2 guys to put it in. It's not hard, per se, just time consuming getting everything lined up. When I installed mine I had to hog out the bolt holes they had since it didn't line up with the frame rail holes. You'll also need to lift the engine up a little so that you can get the motor mounts back on.
Don't use the stock A-arms! Just use the MM ones. You'll be glad you did! I don't even think you can use the stock ones although I didn't even try on my installation so maybe you can but why?
I would add the MM Bumpsteer kit to complete the front suspension along with the rack relocator kit. Not much more money but makes driving WAAAAYY more enjoyable!
For rear I would add the adjustable sway and PHB. The Torque Arm you can add later but those other two things will also vastly improve the handling of your car.
