RE: K Member Torque Spec
Will do man, will do.
I'm sure I'll love the extra room down there for some reason
MUCH lighter than stock...
And I mean MUCH!!
Just need the rest of the front end to match.
When I get cash I'll get the coil overs n caster camber plates n tubular a arms.
But as for now, reusin the stockers.
And bobby, you can always buy my old engine

THATS NOT WHAT I WAS REFFEREING TO [:@] lol
so does a tubular k member nake the car handle better ? or does it just take off a lot of weight? what will the tubular a arms do for you, and the coil overs? Bare with me, engine and drivetrain i know. but im still learning about suspension...........

RE: K Member Torque Spec
Basically just weight.
But it's much stronger/stiffer than the stocker and gives more room to work with.
Took about 30lbs off the front end.
But I have long tubes too and it should clear up some room.
And as for the A-arms, basically weight there. But if I got them the inside of my rim wouldnt rub on it anymore when I cut the wheel all the way.
(17x9's on the front)

RE: K Member Torque Spec
thats cool, but wouldnt you need to modify tranny shifter and the rest of the drivetrain? oh and what the hek do coilovers improve? arent they a shock with a spring on the outside of them? why get those instead of some strange 10 way adjustable shocks?

But, as bobby said wouldnt I have clearance problems?
And what about the driveshaft?

RE: K Member Torque Spec
I think there's enough clearance for an inch for everything. If it was me putting in a crossmember, I'd just wrench her down with the ol' impact, it's not like a main or rod cap. Don't be scared!
