Default K-Member question

I was wondering if anyone knew about PSR k-members. Are they ok for daily drivers? I tired finding their website, and I couldn't find anything about them. Can I just bolt one up to my 03 GT with stock springs, or do I need something special.

Using stock springs depends on the A-Arms, not the k member. If you are just buying the k-member alone you have to check with the manufacture to wether or not it accepts the factory A-arms and if it does then your springs will work just fine.

Even if you use stock A-arms you will need to get an aftermarket upper spring perch as the stock one is part of the K-member. You can the QA1 perches from Summit for about $25 each.

IMO, if you are going so far as to install a new "K", go ahead and get aftermarket arms as well. The OEM ones are flimsy and seems a company makes them with spring perches.

Just make sure they fit properly, as my pepe The Ubermeister says

I agree, Jazzer os the expert on the suspension topics, at this point I would get the aftermarket A-Arms as well, wether or not you go coilver or not.

Well I just spoke to the person who has it and they said it comes with the A-arms. Has anyone heard of PSR? I tried looking online for them, but can't find the site. It is from an 03 Cobra, but it is suppose to fit the 99-04 GT also. So what all extra would I need if it comes with the a-arms? Thanks

Well they also have the QA1 coil overs, and Cobra springs for sale. I guess the front coil overs may have to be rebuilt. Would, or should I go ahead and get the cobra springs also? Is there going to be a big difference using the coil overs and cobra springs, compared to my C-springs that are on now?
