Just curious what everybodys thoughts are for the different brands of k members and control arms, coil over kits, etc. I had a QA1 k-member on my last 94', with stock control arms, koni yellows and eibach road race springbs, along with all the poly bushings and offset sterring rack bushings, but I ended up selling the car before I got to drive it again. Whats everybodys thoughts on companies like kenny brown or UPR, the cars gonna be a daily driver but hopefully tearing up the solo I and II courses on weekends.

If you want a good value go for Maximum Motorsports. If you want the best, Griggs is it hands down. Now if only I could afford their stuff.....

PA is the way to go. Its one of the lightest available and it provides the most header room.

Griggs if you can aford it but Maximum motorsport is a happy medium...i haven't header much fromt PA i but if it lighter and gives more room it might be worth a try, as long as they can handle road racing

Chromemoly is a must this time, I checked griggs, I dont know if I wanna fork $2500 for a front end, Im already spending that much on a t56 swap and about the same for a 9" rear.

I just check out PA that killer recomended and that seems like a great front end kit for just about anything and it's a 1000 instead of 2500 also what dose your rear end look like? Tq arm set up or 5 link?

This is starting from stock, Im building a new car. Im looking at a couple 5 link setups now, havent decided there either. Maximum Motorsports doesnt look that bad either, $4000 for a full front and rear package, not a bad deal...

I wanna start the car out in solo I and II, maybe try a few other classes later when I get a good feel for it,but I also need to be able to drive it to work, and to the track. I dont mind harshness in the ride quality, I like the car solid, but I also have to make sure that Itll pass Hawaii recon certification since Ill probably be moving back in the next 2 years.
