Anyone here ever put on a aftermarket K member? Was it hard to install or remove the old one? Did it improve your handling and what brand (I found some that were around $250) should I get? I plain on doing urathane bushings, shocks, F&R swaybars and strut tower brace also. Might as well say its a whole suspention rebuild.

 

i have done it twice, the 2 nd is yet on the road
made my 82 drive better and all that room under the engine alone is
well worth it to me , one is a d&d and the other was used with no name, just drop the complete unit on the ground and break it down and install the new parts and i think its best to install the frame and then hang all the new parts, makes it lighter to install , and at that point you will have the weight of the car to help with the coils

 

are d&d any good..they seem to be one of the cheapest in price...

 

i put a D&D k-member kit in my old 95

 

Tubed steel is usually tubed steel, no matter which brand. Usually not going to be much of a difference. One may powder coat and the other may just use plain paint. It is probably a fine K-member. (my 2cents)

 

Would I have to use coilover shocks?

 

I was wandering the same thing. Can you run the k-member with stock a-arms and shocks?

 

oops.. I some how read "K-member brace". Didnt realize you meant whole K-member.[&:].... I think all of the after market ones are set up for coilovers.

 

no ive seen them made for both
