Finally got it all done today. It was alot of BS & drama to get this done in time because There were a few obstacles along the way, but it all came together today. Im trying to have this thing back on the road asap & I will be out of town for a while. It was imperitive I got it done today since my buddy who installed the K member can only do the work on mondays....Gotta say thanks to Jorel for all his hard work with the install, & Streakmatt, BabyLove, & Brandon for coming through big time with the help also....
 
Just when I thought you couldn't mod that Mach any more Epik, you go and do something like this.....You are making that car a masterpiece. Its perfect! K-member puts the front wheels back in the fenderwell where they should be. Thats my only complaint about my 18x9 fr500's is they stick out a tad bit too much. That car has to handle like a race car!

Very VERY Sweeeeeet car
 

Thanks...The new k member setup is arounds 40-45lbs lighter than stock for better weight distribution & overall weight loss from the car, & the geometry is much improved for dramatically better handling. The MM k member is the strongest tubular k available, but I doubt its stronger than stock though. As far as the bumpsteer kit, I will let this quote from MM's website explain it....



Thanks bro....Actually the K member widened the front track by 1/4" so it made the wheels stick out even more, but I installed 94/95 spindles which are 8mm narrower than 96-04 spindles. This put the wheels right where they should be....The car handles like a race car for sure....
 
Sweet car, great choices in suspension setup. Can't go wrong with MM! I was happy just to replace my rear upper control arms and diff. bushings! They were in bad shape,the rear end walked all over under torque. What a difference in handling. Now I can take enjoy the other sup. mods like my springs, struts/shocks, and c/c plates.

BTW, the MM diff. bushing tool is worth every penny! Made for a painless first time experience. I went with the FRPP uppers and OE diff. bushings.

How soon before we do the next mod???
 
Did you ever do the T/A? I don't recall if you did or didn't.

Not yet...I wish, but it keeps getting put on the back burner for other stuff...It will get done 1 day though....


Thanks....MM is the best out there for corner carving with street durability IMO...

I have that diff tool & used it on my old cobra to change the shot diff bushings...Its the Chit!!!
 
are you sure the k-member is square? because the distance from the top of the tires out to the fenders isnt equal, from what i can see in the picks. I know that the body of our cars isnt even close to being square but i thought i'd make sure and throw it out there.
 

Yeah, its square, burt like you said the car isnt perfect. What part are you referring to though?
