qa1= mild steel


UPR= chrome moly! lighter and STRONGER!!

i will be going with UPR when i get my k memebr and UPR is LIFETIME warrenty

would doing the a-arms only make any difference?

no, and you would have to run a coil over kit, you can run coil over on your stock arms if you want...

I have qa1 k in my car and it fit perfectly. I have installed 2 UPR K members and the fitment was crap.

i highly disagree with that statment, tubular a-arms do make a difference. lighter control arms = less unsprung weight which = better reaction to bumps, less bump steer, and much better handling.

I have the QA-1 and love it, made a huge difference in the way it handles

would doing front coilovers and a-arms make any difference? i dont really feel like pulling the k-member!

 

[oxfordgt]

If your gonna do coilover and A arms then the Kmember only takes an additional 10 minutes.

 

[crazystang25]

yes doing control arms and coilovers makes a difference, as well as what type of bushings you put in them.

 

[mineralgraygt]

you should try team z kmember and arms i just installed one in my car awsome quality

The steeda K-member looks pretty solid. Just ran across it the other day on their website:
Steeda Lightweight K-Member - '96-'04 Ford Mustang

honestly if your looking for a sturdy k-member do the MM k-member, its a great k-member. costs a bit more, but IMO is worth it.

If you dont want to coilover the car aje makes tubular control arms with a spring cup for coil springs.

Costly, but well worth the extra cash, especially on a street driven car. The other K members are ok, but just don't have the extra bracing that the MM k member has, which IMO, is very important on a frequently driven car...

I have used the UPR one a couple times and have nothing but good things to say about it. Plus, it's made in the USA.
