K-members, which brand holds up to street/strip?

[ProjectoStang]

I will soon be in the market for a tubular front suspension. I have heard about D&D, UPR, Ground Pounder, etc. So many choices but which one is best for street/ strip applications?

I went to the NMRA nationals in bradenton and was told by a D&D rep that theirs is tig welded and does not flex during street driving. As opposed to UPR which is solely for the strip. Help me out guys.

Ground pounder and UPR units are knock off's made in China. Which means they are hurried, bundled and shipped. The best is AJE. QA1, D&D are also good.

I have heard good things about qa1. They are about $230 new. I'm going to use one this summer.

QA1 is a good product. I have used this setup for a year, but I have not track tested it.

thanks guys!!

bjl95mustang- Where did you find the qa1 for that price? I have always seen it much higher than that.

STAY AWAY FROM Ground Pounder!!!


I did a ton of research on K members and it all pointed to two companies, AJE and PA Racing. I went with the PA due to Jason's outstanding customer service I read so much about. Unfortunately I only got to drive my car about 2 days before I hurt the motor after installing the K member.

for some reason i thought the K members were WAY more too... like maximum motorsport's k members for close to 700$.. that's why i gave up on the idea of buying one of those

but those from PA racing and qa1 are around $230 something

That's just for the K member. Entire front kits run from $600-$1200 (k member, tubular A arms, coil over springs and such).
