UPR makes a great K-member kit. Lifetime warrantied and available Tech Support. For 699.99 you get the K-member, a-arms, and coilover kit. The K-member by itself is 349.99. K-member is made here at our facility in Florida from chrome moly, tig welded, and powder coated silver. You will lose 65+#'s off the front end.

What ride quality are you looking for? Performance/handling? Street/strip? Street? What kind of engine? Aluminum or iron heads?

Answer those for me and I will tell you the best application for your car.

hey king UPR's stuff is very good quality and fitment is excellent and with the tubular k-member you'll have a lot more room for bigger headders and pipes and room for a aftermarket oilpan and it's easier to work anything under the front of the car

I would set you up with 14-175 springs. 14" and 175# rate. The UPR coilover kit will accept any struts. You will be fine with your Koni's.

That issue was taken care of with offset rack bushings. We have no problems with our K-members.
