Im going to be buying a k member soon for my 88 coupe.

im looking at either MM qa1 or AJE..which one?

my front suspension will be:
strange 10 way adj, tubular a arms, tubular k member, and either drag launch springs or an h&r race spring(cant decide which way i wanna go with the car lol)

looking for the most trouble free k member(meaning no grinding to fit)

the threads ive read before on here with people actually installing them were UPR, PA racing and D&D. all of them bolted up real nicely without much effort. havent really heard anything about the two you listed. im sure someone will chime in shortly with better info. this winter im going with PA racing K member. Pro50sc sold me on it.

Hell if you are going to go with the h&r race springs you might as well stick with a complete MM setup. They can be kind of pricey though but they have great results with their products(don't most companies lol). I have heard AJE's are nice but for the price you might as well go with UPR's front kit.

MY set up from PA Racing went in w/o Issue. I believe MJR46's D&D set up was the same for him as well. I went w/ mild steel as apposed to the chromoly. Mine was reasonably priced and I got great customer service from the guy I bought mine from. I got very little response from D&D and a couple others plus the PA set up was highly recommended from a few other ppl that ran them on their cars that I know from other forums.

im leaning more towards a drag setup.. im also looking for decently priced. QA1 sells for 250 for the 5.0 k member, then a-arms are liek 200. not a bad price. just curious what you all have/experience with.

i had a qa1 set up with coil overs...get rid of the stock type spring and go coil over! I had no issues, great fit...i'm looking into a UPR or AJE one myself...unless i find a nice qa1...chromoly is much better..a little more $ but worth it IMO

Please explain why you think this is. I want to hear your reasoning.

Now now, let's give him a a chance. I know why, but I want to see if he does.
