I'd go with a qa1 or a upr. Upr's is a little lighter but qa1's is really good quality. I have qa1 tubular a arms and they are very good quality.

neither. id go with the upr k member kit, it comes with the k member, a arms, coil overs and your choice of springs (12150, 12250 or 12350) but you have to get thebumpsteer kit and off set rack bushings for it all to work.thats what i got in my car and its sick, just get the 12250 springs for handling and adjust your prefered ride hight with the coil overs.

MM is pricey... UPR weights less and is jus as strong and fits great from what i hear... u can get mroe for you money with other brands... i used to be an MM freak but i saw the light... they do make a few things that no1 else makes with as good of quality but K memeber isnt one of them... their k member kit is like what 1800 bucks... and u have to use the arms with the k memeber so if u get the basics u still spend like 1000 bucks
