i wouldnt even have modified it, i'd call QA-1 ,bitch, and get a full refund including shipping. nothing new should need to be modified to fit, expecialy if its for that car unlike us...

I do like what I see from the PA Racing K member and havn't found one person that has a bad word about them.

I guess it's ok for drag racing or light street use....but it's far too spindly for my tastes for any aggressive handling....

MM is realy the only way to go. its a realy burly, safe, well made unit. sure its expensive, but well worth it. i would have gone with one myself but i refuse too use coil overs and you cant with the MM k member.
 
 
why exactly do you want the tubular k member anyway, any particular reason?

If the place that sells that K-member does not make one that fits it...no.  Unless it's just a 2-point one, it will have to be custom.

well thats prety valid. alot of guys do some stuff just for the sake of saying they have it. take a look at the AJE. i felt it was a happy medium as far as whats out there. the PE raceing one is nice but im not digging the tabs for mounting points. while my AJE isnt anything like the MM one i wanted it still alows me to swap the 4.6 in and still use the modified macferson strut/springs. its a little more rugged than some of the other units out there. id still like to add some braceing to it as well as add a 2 or 4 pt brace.

Far as I know, MM is the only place that sells a 2-point K-member brace for their tubular K-members.

By the way, I was looking at a Summit catalog earlier, and noticed the Granatelli tubular K-member in there for $220. It looks fairly well built...what's the opinion on it? Granatelli's tubular control arms are pretty cheap too ($200 per kit)
