MM K member w/ lca

MM told me to get a FRPP lca if it's going to take a year or so to upgrade my front suspension in my 91 (besides the MM Caster plates, koni's and H&R springs which I have). But I'm thinking since the FRPP front lca's are pretty much the same price has the MM front lca's (*$350*) which go with the K member then it would make more sense to save and buy the K member and the MM front lca's at the same time. I'm not to fond of spending more money then I have to. If I can I'd rather get the right parts the first time. Is there any thing I should know when looking into a K member? Are there any other parts I will have to purchase or steer away from? Or is it in fact recommended for my driving situation(s) to just get FRPP front lca's and avoid a K member?

Figures this always happens. After I post some thing I finally find some sort of answer in my searches. From readings it looks like you have to use a coil-over set up with this K member and MM f lca's.... Guess I won't be doing this.

The K-member is going to move the front wheelbase forward, make sure you get the standard arms not the other forward arms which makes the wheelbase even longer or you will have rubbing issues on the fenders if you are not set up for them, just double check the part #'s. The only added expense will be you are going to need is to convert to coil over to run the mms front arms vs the stock arms. MMS is a very k-member IMHO so you are on the right track.


LOL and you answered while I was typing

yea I did Thanks for the response tho I appreciate it. Right now a coil-over set up is not needed for me. the MM rep confirmed my thinking on this and also said "about 4 years ago the car scene thought they had to have coil-overs and if the did not they weren't cool . Coil-overs are not needed for a non track dedicated car.
