Default Need some opinions with k members.

Hi guys i'm currently interested in buying a new tubular k member. Which brand would u recommend from experience?

Second is it worth converting to coil over? I know you don't have to but i'm building a track only car and would like to know if i'd see any advantage to it or not?

Third if switching to coil over, how do u know what spring rate to try?

I already have caster camber plates will those work with a coil over setup?

Sry for all the questions i have tried contacting aje and wolfe craft and ask them question's with no f'n luck ? So hopefully someone here can help chime in thx for any help you can give. or any do's or don'ts
Vehicle is a 90 coupe. w/306 soon to be 351 currently using the eibach drag launch spring kit.

I have a QA1. although i like the way it fit, i am not to keen on the way its built. I probably wouldnt buy another.

I have however had my eyes on the AJE racing K-member for quite some time now..

Ive got a Maximum Motorsports k-member and whole front end (soon to have a rear setup also). All I can say is the MM stuff is very nice. Everything is nicely welded and powercoated black. They give you very good instructions and their customer service is great. I spent one night talking with them 30 minutes after closing time.

Im setting my car up for roadracing so I have a very stiff front end. The coilovers are nice to have since you can easily raise or lower the front end is small measurements.

I would definitely recommend their stuff and will buy from them again.

I would convert to coil over! cleaner setup!

And as far as recomendations, Team Z, i just got one of their k members and it is HIGH quality. Used to have UPR setup, but their quality isnt the best in my opinoin. And i am running QA1 a arms on the k member

Not to hijack but can you use a tubular kmember on a daily driver?

My stuff is from PA Racing. Very happy w/ the fit, finish and quality. Pricing was good too.
