Default k member choices

there are many from just the k member to a full front suspension which one are really worth the money? personally im the kind of person that if im going to get one im not using anything stock so ill more than likely get a whole kit so what are some of your guys opinions and anyone have any experence?

first off the full kit choices....
never seen this one but the price isnt bad for a full kit idk if it come with coilovers but im also worried about it being less streetable as it is a lighter unit more designed for straightl ines

of course MM is what most people consider the top of the line and from what i understand it is very streetable and leans more towards the circuts and autox

Granatelli is crap, I've heard horrible things.

I'm gonna run the QA1, but in mild steel, NOT chromoly. Mild Steel will bend if something happens, chromoly likes to break

UPR has fitment issues and is just a cheap ripoff of the QA1 design

The MM is awesome, it's the heaviest and really strong, I only recommend it for hard core road race/auto-x use, unless you just want to spend the money.

A "drag race" k-member is not meant for street driving, turns add a LOT of stress that they aren't built to handle.

Does the qa1 accept tubular control arms and coil overs well?

Yup, QA1 has some nice control arms, I recommend using the MM coilovers with bilsteins, unless you want to run the QA1 setup, it's really nice too. I think the complete package is $1200 or something like that.
