Default gunna switch my qa1 k member out

so i am thinking of switching out my qa1 k member for either a upr or pa racing k. Which one is a better option. the upr is 20 bucks more shipped than the pa racing one. the upr is also lighter due to chromly...which retains the stock wheel base the closest? I also have qa1 a arms, can i use these arms on these k members or will this move the wheels around too? thanks

I'm pretty sure the QA1 and the UPR k members are identical.

everyone i have seen who has installed the upr k members the wheels retained the stock location didnt move forward or out like they do with the qa1. I also heard qa1 used to have an older design which was the good design and now they are crap. and no upr has a new design which is alot better than the old one. I can get a upr k/arms for 530 and a pa racing for about the same. wish i could use my qa1 a arms but im thinking i shouldnt

i just bit the bullet and bought the upr k and arms for 530, i like the chromoly steel because its light and i have heard great things about both companies, the customer service from upr is outstanding and whenever i have questions or need a replacement part (coil over sleeve) they honor their gaurentee and ship it right out

I got my QA1 k member last winter and my wheels retained the same location they had with the stock k member, sounds like u got something goofy going on.

I have the chrome moly k member kit and I gotta say man you made the right choice I seriously couldn't be happier except I went from stock k member to the up. What a difference, and I have to agree their customer service is incredible.

I have the QA1 K member and it changed the wheel location. Once I dropped the car back down the tires were all sorts of toe'd in from the new K.

This of course is with the stock A arms.
