Default Best tubular K-member/A-Arms

Let me know what you guys have had the best success with, quality and fit wise. Price wise too.

Leave the UPR stuff out of it, heard way too many bad stories about them.

Beach bum'd(julio) has a maximum motorsports full tubular front end and it made a huge diff in the handling with the car. Opened up alot of space to work on it too!! Good luck chris.

The MM ones are super expensive though right? And more for road racing?

I used QA1 with zero problems on my SN95. Paid $100 for it used. Originally used my stock a-arms. Zero problems there on the street. Ran for 3 years with that combo. Then bought QA1 adjustable a-arms with solid bushings and a UPR universal coil over kit. A slight issue with the coil overs and the struts,.. but once figured out. Zero problems on the street. And I used this car as a daily for years.

That is very near the average when you go with tubular K and A-arms... no matter what manufacturer.

Cost is definitely a huge part of the equation in my circumstance .... MM is out based on price alone.

I think (dont quote me) QA1 will take modified stock control arms....but not worth it, save the money and do it right the first time.


And whats wrong with UPR???? I have used UPR k members before and never have had one problem

But I always recommend QA1
