Im looking to swap mine out while I'm off for a week end of this month, now i read somewhere one of them works with the stock a arms and struts, but i cant find which one that was now. Preferably, id like to do just the k member now, then when i decide to do coil overs and tubular a arms later, i could just buy them. Thanks for the replys

Ok i think its the qa-1 that works with the stock crap, but if that **** pushes my wheels forward an inch I dont want to run it

i believe pushing ur wheels up an inch will give u a better center a gravity

A good "K" will move your wheels forward a bit and I think that it also moves the "A" arm mounting points back some so arms "sweep" forward. This helps reduce brake dive and, as Boostang says, helps a bit to balance weight distribution.

the stock a arms should be able to be used with any k-member. the a-arm mounting tabs are stock width, which will allow the a-arms to fir. a set of spring perches will be needed, they are a universal piece. termi a-arms will move the wheels forward a little bit, it helps the car set up. most aftermarket k's will move the set up forward, why wouldnt you want that?

i am running a QA1 on my car, its done well for me so far. i am running the termi ars as well, they will be getting changed out soon.

i am looking at running an aje unit with control arms with the spring cups.

is the full tubular front qa1 setup fairly decent? I saw a few on ebay for just under 500 for the kmember, arms, and coil over equipment. Doesn't seem like that bad of a deal, what is the weight savings of doing this vs stock?

AJE is what im going to order too when the time comes.

the QA1 is one (if not the) lightest k's. they are orientated more for drag racing more than anything else. i shaved just over 30lbs with k alone if i remember right.

Hell if its the cheapest, lightest, and wont break, its sold. I am aiming for a fairly aggressive car, damn near all my extra money between now and summer, just to beat my bro in a 1/4. I don't want to cut corners and have cheap **** that breaks, but damn **** is expensive and a couple 100 here will help a lot. I was just cautious as it was the cheap set off of ebay, and I saw several when I looked. 30 for just the kmember, how much more for arms + coil over? A guy I know locally said he did a full tubular front and killed off 70lbs, seems impressive, and worth it.

 

[SWEET2KSTANG]

not sure how well they hold up with DD task's. i have read of few breaking the lightweight k's, but so far mine has held up. i will probably be changing mine after the first of the year.

We're running a Grantelli K-member and a-arms with coilovers. The only issue we have is that the rack and pinion doesn't want to bolt up

the reason i dont want my wheels shifting forward is because that would look retarted in the wheel well, and this is the k i think im gona end up buying

Does my car look retarded? My Griggs "K" moves the wheels forward as well.

trying to avoid spending a grand on something thats just going on a bolt on street car, only reason im honestly doing it is for access to these stupid ass longtubes in case i need to pull the passenger one off to do my clutch or drop my tranny for some reason

It moves it forward like an inch, you would barely notice it just lookin at it.

 

[carnut59]

It comes from the factory with the wheels too far back. Look at the gap around the tire and the fender well. I would like to move them so it looks better.
