A tubularK-member is one heck of a suspension upgrade for ya. I bought the AJE K-member with bolt in springs perches and the tubular a-armswith spring cups. The a-arms were a little expensive about $480, but since you all ready have lowering springs on the car thats the route I would go. Install wasn't that hard either.

really? sounds like a good idea. I'm trying to sell my blower and i'll have some money to get it.

Which tubular k-member kit is the best?

UPR, AJE, both great K-members. Not sure who all make a-arms with spring cups though, another reason I went with AJE.Install is real easy. It was the first time I ever did anything like that and I had no problems, fittment was right on. I also went with AJE cause I could drive 25 min to jegs and pick it up too. Good Luck!

thats my dilema tho is that I dont know how to do most of this stuff. I know a little bit about the engine and stuff but I have no idea on putting on suspension or any of that.


also, after the k-member kit, should I look at some stuff for the rear? if so, what should I be looking for?
