just to clarify....is this a GMS k? instead of GSM? never heard of GSM....if its the GMS, i had one of these i was gonna use for my 460 swap but decided against for fabrication reasons...it seemed like a very strong k member and im interested to see what you think about it since everyone here almost crucified me for saying GMS in my thread lol, it seemed like it would be a nice piece though

do you have gms or qa1 coil overs? 300lb?

Yes GMS. I went with the 200lbs springs and it is the coil over sleeve.

Granatelli is a good brand but I think many of the small minders on here just associate granatelli with ricers because they have a large import market.

Price and function. This is my wifes car. There's no point in spending so much more for a heavier k member even if it is one of the best.

I tried pa racing but they wouldn't answer the phone so they missed out. I tried calling for two days with not even a response to my message.

In case you didn't put yours on yet, you are going to need to get two new bolts to hold the steering rack on, or a lot of washers. The factory ones are really long and sleeved because they go through the huge stock k member. When you put them through the PA Racing one, the nut won't get tight because it hits the sleeved part of the bolt. So buy shorter ones, or throw some washers on there.
