Default K Member ?'s

If I get a tubular k-member, do I NEED tubular a-arms? If not needed, what are the benefits of getting them? I mainly want a K-member for LT's, so I would rather do a-arms later.

I tried to run the stockers, but even with CC plates, the alignment wouldn't dial in...so, I had to get some tubular a-arms.

You can run stock a arms with the QA1 k member but you will have to do some grinding to the a arms to make them fit. The instructions tell you how to do it.

Granatelli makes a K member. It looks a little beefier than the QA1, but has spring perches and is supposed to work with stock arms.
