Default k-member dilemma

I want to install a k-member kit. (coil overs, control arms, c/c plates) on my 1990 lx notch but i dont know which company to choose. AJE, UPR, PA, maximum motorsports, or QA 1. I have heard good things about the AJE, UPR and maximum motorsports k-member kit. I want to know if anyone has used these kits and which one is the best fitting without the problems.

any advise is appreciated!

thanks!

reduce weight and if used with a coil over= allows front suspension to be fully adjustable in all aspects= caster camber, and toe already had that though, and ride height..and they are open and allow easy access to reach previously difficult hard to get to spots

If your not planning on doing it for racing, weight reduction, save the money. The ride quality is much worse than stock. I used PA Racing stuff w/ Strange coil over kit. Great quality and fit.
