Default What K-member kit fits the best?

I'm goin to be buying a K-member kit and i always figured i would just buy the UPR K-member kit but i have heard from some people that they dont fit the greatest. They said the Granatelli kit would most likely fit better or the Q1A kit, i think they are all around $700. Have any of you guys put any of these K-member kits in a fox, let me know how they fit and work i also heard the Drag kits do not ride good on the street at all and the street kit is stilla good upgrade fors the strip.I'm buying it for drag but i drive on the streetevery daywhat one should i get street or drag??

Don't buy the Granatelli kit. I did a lot of research when I bought what I have there were a lot of bad reviews on it. I ended up buying a PA Racing kit. It fit very well. I went w/ the mild steal instead of the chromoly.

Mjr46 had a D&D set up on his and he likes his as well. The reason I didn't buy D&D was when I tried to contact them they really couldn't be bothered answering the questions I asked. Guess they didn't need the business.

Dave is the owner, very good friend of mine, high quality tig welded chromemoly made right in michigan, ALOT of other companies have them welded overseas, I use select overseas stuff as we are forced to, because its very cost prohibitive, BUT when my life depends on the front end holding up, its Team Z for me. I have seen first hand some of the horrible welding by one of the above mentioned. Theres a reason Dave has a contract with Ford to make some of there suspension parts for the new mustangs.

Dave was very helpful to me when I ordered my kit through them however it took him 1 and a half months to get me three items they short shipped.. but none the less it went in with no probs

Well, he might be a great guy, but his sales skills are week. Here's the info I asked about......

Hello, I'm interested in purchasing some front end parts,
92 Mustang 5.0 notch. Can you tell me how much shipping would be to 20832
and how long it takes. Do you discount multiple purchase items? I need to
know a bottom line I would be looking at. I noticed that there are 2 listings
for the coil over kit. (DDCO105D and DDCO105H) why is that? Looking for 14"
spring w/ 175 rate. It's gonna be a street/strip application. Does the k-member
come w/ new mounting hardware or do you have to reuse the old stuff? Thanks
for any insite you can provide.

And this was his response......

Hi, you are looking at 875.00 delivered and the product does not include new hardware. Thanks, Dave

That's week in my book. Guess he couldn't be bothered to answer the rest of my questions. No problem, I spent my money elsewhere.

Avoid the QA1 K-member... it flexes badly while cornering
