where is a good place to buy a k member from?
i figured out today that is why my car dosent drive straight because my kmember is pushed over, not my frame.
ive seen the granatelli's for like 6or 7 hundred but i dont need anything special but i really dont want to get one from a junkyard because who knows if it would be any good anyways.
thanks guys.

You can get them from summit for around 250 bucks, not $700. Just look for the ones that you can use your stock control arms and ones that you can get spring pirtches for.

Like this one, but I am not sure if it has spring pirtches or not.

EDIT: Here are the pirtches

upr is really nice and i have heard some good things about it. if they are made anything like their upper and lower control arms then it should be great. i try to stay away from granatelli i have seen their lower control arms snap in half

AJE

both have k members that may use stock A arms and threrfore springs
Both companies make an offering in mild steel, recommended for a DD car

FYI
Some companies' K-members will reposition the wheels and /or engine so thats a feature to watch/decide upon

sweet. did you go stock a-arms and springs?
was it mild steel unit

Have you heard anything about the Anthony Jones Engineering unit?
I will most likely be getting one of those two for my street/strip car unless I find out about a better mild steel k member...
