You can use whatever you want if you don't care where the car will end up for classing.
In the SCCA those modifications will land you in Street Modified or C-Prepared. Some regions now offer a "Classic American Muscle" or "Modern American Muscle" class that focuses on domestic produced front engined, RWD cars on 200 treadwear street tires. There are a few stipulations like a minimum curb weight (3000lbs) and the 200 treadwear tires but it is pretty open from a suspension standpoint.
Not sure how it would be class in NASA Autocross though...

Will the '95 A-arms fit the QA1 k-member? I've heard that the QA1 geometry of their k-members aren't quite right and you have to use a modified A-arm to correct it. Anyone have this problem?? Thanx

K-Member takes you out of SM and in CP you have a weight penalty.
Personally I don't like the idea of using a QA1 in autocross, seeing one in person, I don't think it'd last long...

I answered the question based upon information provided in the body of the text which asked about 1994 front a-arms and spindles which by themselves would put him in SM if they were not factory.
The K-Member definitely puts you in CP and I would double, and triple check the CP rules about the weight penalty. I specifically remember 2 years ago them removing the weight penalty for alternative K-Members in CP. One of our locals was thrilled.

might want to double check with the SEB because they told me 10% weight penalty of your minimum weight in class which for me is 2750 + 275 = 3025...

It's not in the rule book and I specifically remember the FasTrack saying the weight penalty in CP was removed for alternative K-members about a year and change ago.

Anyone have a road-race k-member suggestion for a fox-body Mustang? Other than MM? I realize MM is the best and most preferred, but I'm a beginner and need a lot of stuff... Unless someone has a good used one! Thanx all for your input!

Is there a reason why MM isn't an option for you?

if you're a beginner you don't need a k member at all. you need seat time IMO.

Whiskey11, which k-member are you using... MM is just too far out of my budget, for everything else I need!

Stock!
I race in one of those restrictive classes that doesn't allow K-Member swaps and the S197's front suspension geometry isn't nearly as bad as the Fox/SN95 cars are to need a K-Member to fix it.iRoush is now running the MM K-Member with Forward Offset MM A-Arms and coilovers on his SN95. I know saving is a pain, but when it comes to wanting to do corner carving, I wouldn't risk any other K-Member than MM, Griggs, Cortex, or maybe the Agent47 ones and none are cheap. Buy once, cry once as the phrase goes.
