Thread: Which k member for me?

  1. #1

    Which k member for me?

    I plan on getting a set up hooker/flowtech longtubes soon and I firgured I would get a k member at the same time. I am not going to get CC plates or coilovers right now. What k member will bolt right now and be worth my money. I am leaning toward the PA racing one. I can get a good price on one.

    I have the AJE K-member and lower control arms. Anthony makes a beefed up unit for road racing/street use that has an extra brace to handle the rough streets for daily driving. Can't beat the service you'll get with AJE. I went with MM coil overs to get a set that fit tightly on the Tokiko drag struts I have on the front. I really like the K-member, I have had it on there for a couple years now and no long term issues.

    I put BBK LTs on mine and I bought the engine support to drop the factory K-member to install the headers. That is when I put the K-member in. I would suggest dropping the member for long tubes. Once you get the member out then drop the engine down 3-4 inches to make it easier to get to the bolts on the headers. If you need help/ advice on how to give me a shout...

    I do both. I just adjust the coilovers for different ride height and set the shocks for the desired track. Being lighter in the front pays off at both kinds of tracks. I still have the IRS with all Poly bushings and have had a best of 1.71 60 ' times so far. Stiffen up the shocks, lower the front end, put the NT01 tires on and it will fly around the road course.

    I was just out to Firebird Friday for the Pro-Autosport driver school and ran the main track. I had no trouble running with the Z06's and new Shelby GT500. They couldn't get by me in the turns, but would hang right there on the 5/8 mile straight. I wasn't spraying so I wasn't pulling away from them on the straight, but I could hold my own there. Did get passed by an 04 Cobra when he drove it in so hard into turn one that he almost went off the track.

    I just love the fact that my Cobra and the Lightning will run both the 1/4 and the road course and do both well.

    Car is a DD and will see the drag track occasionally. Will never see a road course.

    I have been down to the shop and seen the k member. I can't remember what other k member they had down there comparing it too though. I wouldn't mind getting one of there thiers but I think money will stop me. Ill pm Dan and see what they are going for. The PA unit is prices is hard to beat.

    yea, i knew they had most of the top dogs down there. as for the price, i think that falls under one of those, you get what you pay for kinda things. and a k-member is the last place i would wanna skimp on cash.

    I agree completely with you on this one. But I never really heard anything bad ever about the PA unit and you have to put in to prospective of how many PA has sold compared to the PS unit. I am not knocking PS at all but they are new and it will take awhile to start getting the word on the street . I have seen the k member in person and it looked awesome no doubt. I would love to rep a local shop and help give them as much good feedback as I possibility. I truly believe we need to have a strong shop that people can trust and I think PS is in the leading pack right now. The few guys I have meet down there gave me top notch service and that means a lot to me as a customer. Well I don't know everything about cars. I can pick out bullshit statements real quick and I have ever really had that problem form PS. But at the PA unit has been around for years and has been proven. Plus the price is right. For a company that is just getting into building k member it will be hard for them to getting started for a little while. But if there claims are true I have no doubt they will be able to sell a shit load of units. Like I said unless I get a killer deal on one. And I know Dan isn't running a charity here and I don't expect handouts by any means just a best deal he can give me with him still making enough money on his end to make this worth it for him. I will most likely be sticking with the PA racing one. Money talks to me. And if I have heard zero complaints, there is very little stopping me. I am in college. Plus I will never ever go into debt for my car.

    Thanks for all your guys help. Means a lot to me. I like reinsurance. I never want to second guess my self.
