Default Tubular K-member ?

I talked to some guys from QA-1 about the K-member they offer as a kit and the said to watch what size rim and tire I run because that K-member I guess moves the spindle and stuff forward a little bit. I was wondering if this was true cause while I have the car apart I am planning on upgrading my entire suspension to QA-1.
Also what would everone recommend suspension wise. Im going coil overs in the front and just lowering springs and two way adjustables in the rear cause ill be planting the tires pretty hard.

I haven't had any issues with my k-member and coil over set up in reference to that particular issue, but then again I run 15 inch skinnies up front

Yeah that would make sense. they said the average fit is a 225 in the front but didnt say anything about rim size. I will be running 17x9 and would like to fit 245

I compared the QA-1 to several others. It has excellant welds, gussets in the right spots and fits excellant. I've seen and installed just about every brand on other peoples cars. I chose the QA-1 for mine.
