some you do some you don't, have to read the description when you purchase them. i would also go with a qa1. heard bad stories about upr, know gms products suck b@lls, and the mm is to heavy imo.

awesome, i was just looking at lethalperformance and i found a QA1 k member for 249. It says u can use the stock a arms and dont have to go coilovers. Is that a good deal? Also does anyone know of a writeup of how to change out one of these. Im planning on dropping the engine from the bottom and i really havent found anythiing to help me with this.

I've been running the Maximum Motor sports piece, it's slightly heavier, but I'd rather the extra support when I'm racing. That's just me though, for a DD, it might be Overkill

If anything, DD would probably be less stress because it's USUALLY lower speeds

PA racing has the best fitting K member outta the whole bunch, trust me I asked many folks with K members and theirs was/is the best, fit flawlessly!! You can get spring perches so you do not have to run coil overs.
