I know, I know, not another k-member question, why dont i do a search? well i did, and mostly everything is street handling, street -strip cars. I have a drag car and its only duty is track. so my question is who else has a car for primarily drag racing and what k-member setup are you using. UPR and QA1 are 2 that i've looked into. I've heard stories about the upr chromeoly cracking at the upper welds from hard launches/ landings. the motor is being finished and the et's should be high 8's. so i need a durable peice, thats light-weight. i wanted the whole deal, k-member, a-arms, coil-overs etc. so please chime in and let me know. thanks for your time.

I'd like to see pictures of any UPR K-members cracking due to any kind of abuse. I personally put mine through 3 years of hard abuse and I never had a single issue.

I now work for UPR and if there are issues with the K-member cracking they aren't being reported to us, which I find odd because if I spent $650 on something and it broke I would go back to the manufacturer about it.

I've heard that as well. Maybe someone that this has happened to will chime in.

There was one in 5.0 magazine this month, that gives an unlimited 2 year warranty. It's a feature article so it shouldn't be hard to find.
