Default Tubular K-member reviews wanted

I am looking for reviews from people who have purchased and installed tubular k-members with any options coilovers/noncoilovers, tubular a arms or stock ones it doesn't matter I would like to hear about your experiances with them. Did anything get in the way like bigger oil pans or did you find any incompatibilities with other aftermarket parts? I want as much info as you can give me on any kit.

If I decide to purchase a k-member I will be running coilovers in the front which means I will most likely purchase a set of tubular a-arms.

Some information about my car:
I have a 351w stroked to a 408 running the hooker super comp headers which right now are extreamly tight. I have a canton deep sump oil pan that is going on. The car has a T-5 tranny (astro gears and imput shaft). I have done the SN95 spindle swap and am using the 13" rotors and dual piston PBR brakes. I will be installing a flaming river manual stearing rack and an aerospace engineering manual brake kit when I am ripping and tearing on the frontend.

Thanks guys.

I'm also running a D&D setup that works pretty well. Only thing you need to watch out for is with the headers. I have heard of people having problems with clearance with that kit... sounds weird because you would think that it would open it up so much but I have heard this numerous times from other people. I run a D&D K Member, D&D A Arms, UPR Coil Over. As for an oil pan, I run a 7qt Moroso and have no problems with clearance what so ever. Honestly, if I were to do it again, I would most likely go with a Team Z front setup.
