how about the rest of the kit though, im going to run some MM coilovers, are the a arms and k member ok?

Well I have the QA1 K member with UPR's mild steel A arms. The A arms were fine but I'm guessing you were inquiring about the chromoly pieces.

I'm running a QA1 K member, UPR a arms, and upr coil overs. Everything fit perfect and was indeed an easy swap. Wannabe, sounds like u got some casting flaw because the UPR sleeves are indeed notched, I've never heard of anyone selling coil overs with out the notch for the struts to prevent them from moving, mine don't make any noise at all and definatly do not spin around.
KUGZ, the tatoo is pure win.

I run a PA racing K member
Perfect fitment and using their arms that come with spring cups

PA Racing makes a good quality kit. A few of my friends have had QA1 stuff and didnt like the quality, but could have been flukes. I'd go with PA racing personally, but thats just me. But thats only if you cant go MM lol

From a weoght saving standpoint the MM k member looks big and bulky.

The MM is not as light weight as say the UPR or others, but it is much stronger than the others as well. For a street car that goes through the stresses of street driving and racing, I wouldnt want something super light and built especially for racing anyways. I want something that is strong and will endure the rigors of the **** roads here in south central PA as well as hard cornering and hard launches and such.

Thats just me though.

I personally think UpR and qa1 is fine for street, i know tons of people than been runnimg em for over 4 years and 40k miles of daily driving and never had issues and that in Nepa

All the UPR parts I've ever had were hit or miss and I dont want the cradle holding my motor in my car to have quality that is hit or miss from my standpoint. QA1 isnt terrible, but my friend has their dampers and he's not happy with them.

But from weight/cost standpoint, its hard to ignore the UPR.

UPR doesn't notch their coilover sleeves anymore.

Teej, there is nothing wrong with my QA1 on the street. My guess is even a cheap K member like the QA1 is stronger or as strong as the stock K. Saying you wouldn't want a super lightweight K member holding your motor in place is silly. The chromoly K members are plenty strong enough, even at their light weight.
