I've heard nothing but good things about AJE, a few of the other big name companies have copied their designs extensively. They make K members for pretty much any swap you want to do, 4.6 to fox body, LS1 to fox body, SBC to fox body, etc. I believe they also make tranny crossmembers too for any trans combo you want to run.

I have one on my 85 coupe and wasn't really impressed. I had also heard good things about them but when I called with problems they were pricks about it. Before I ordered the k member I asked about longtube fitment and other q's. After getting the tube k in my longtubes were not only touching my steering shaft but where the positioned the steering rack made it impossible to use the stock steering shaft. Ok, ok so I buy a 200 dollar max motorsports one that extends and collapses. It wouldnt even extend enough to reach the steering rack. I tried raising and lowering the rack, pulling out the steering column as far as it would go, etc. When I called aje they just argued and told me there was something wrong with my car and they have installed hundreds and yada yada. I wasn't asking for a refund I just wanted some help/ideas.

The ONLY reason I went with AJE was bc it keeps the wheels in the exact stock location. I didn't want ti to move them in.out forward or backwards, etc. I really don't care about the ackerman angle on my daily driver anyway. With this being said I would have bought team z if I had to do it all over again.

Jay Allen swears by Team Z suspension stuff, so they must be high quality. If I had to buy one that wasn't for some kind of bastardizing (but fun as hell) swap, I'd go with Team Z.

Oh yeah, well I have the team z and I had most of those same problems, and I ordered the standard/standard and then had to get the longer shaft and a bumpsteer kit because they think the rack needs to be lowered and I would bet the wheels are further out and forward but not much.

I have a AJE k member and arms on my car no complaints. I had a problem with the aftermarket steering shaft hitting on my long tube headers but the stock one fit fine.
