Looks like were it attaches to the frames there is room for some forward adjust.
yes.. there is room for a little adjustment, but not nearly what it would take to make it sit in the center of the fenders...
It looks like there is room for adjustment but there really isn't because you have to attact it to the motor mounts and the top of the k member the top of the frame and the k-member to the lower end of the frame. The whole thing sets in like a glove. The a arms brackets and the a arms themselves are what actually move the wheels forward. At least that is what i experienced.

Buy a set of cobra A arms. they will move your wheels about 1" forward. They are made that way for better handeling. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=670
so you want him to put cobra a-arms on a cobra with a-arms

Well first thng I would tell you to do is get your car up on all 4's get it really level front to back and side to side. then you need to find two spots on the front and two on the rear like. say this rear bolt on passenger side k member measure diagnol to the driver side rear forward control arm then do the same from the driver side k bolt to the pass control arm and see if your measurments are the same of off. then after that I would see about getting a k member you might have a bad misaligment from a wreck or somthing!

Its just a gt

And yea.. the guy the shop that fixed my car said everything measured out right, and from everything that I look at and measure, everything's the same. So i'm not sure if anything is bent or pushed back, because i've seen other cars similar, but either way I don't like it. If I knew for sure buying the control arms would help I would order them tonight, but as far as my friends K member, he put me undrer the impression that it is fully adjustable, in that I could just scoot everything forward. Is this true, or does it just fit one way and thats it?

That tubular K member looks sweet, and yeah my LT's could use some extra room notice the big *** dent for some reason.


I believe I will buy some A arms then, another thing I have noticed is that the cobra front bumper fender opening more gradually slopes toward the front where the regular bumper goes straight down, this only makes it look worse than it is.

Also was your K member adjustable at all?
