Default Installing my new tubular k member a arm and coilovers!

Here are my pics of my tubular k member a arms coilovers and bear brakes. They look cool and they should perform great. When I get to the track I will let everyone know how they worked.

It looks great. This should help big time in weight reduction and off toward the front of the car. Cheers......

Its the performance automotive kit. Everything in the picture except the strutts came from PA. It bolted on so easily I could not believe it. PA was great help on the phone as well. Five stars for tech support and quality of the kit. I will let everyone know how well it works on the street and track as soon as I get the engine finished and installed.

Your right Kent! I think this kit is worth about 76lbs. I am also installing a liftoff fiberglass hood. I hope the weight savings makes a big difference. By the way SS, I was wrong. The brake setup came from Bear. My bad!

They do have a website. Do a search. You can even adjust the coilovers by hand because of the roller thrust bearing between the spring and the adjusting ring.

Can you take some pics of the header clearance when you get the engine installed?

Sure. I have hooker super comps now. Full lenght. Mufflex 3in y-pipe and 4in after. Spin tech muffler. I had a buttload of clearance problems with the old k member. The new one is lower also. You can tell by the brake lines. I did not bend them yet. Where they are in the pic is where the old k member was.

I have the 700R4 right now but am going to put a th350 in later. I got a 383 with afr 210 heads and a ZZX cam form tpis. Its toped with a tpis miniram. This is coming off in favor of a super victor and 750hp series carb. Sorry, I'm going over to the dark side!

The K member was very light, but I am not sure. About 30 lbs maybe? sorry.
