I called AJE Friday and asked the same question. The $349 gets you the k-member WITH the mounts. The $1099 at the bottom of the screen is a typo that they just haven't fixed yet. If you want to run the stock springs you'll have to buy the $39 spring perches. It's designed to run with coil overs.

I think I'm going to go a different route and use the maximum motorsports stuff now. I'll make someone a deal on the AJE stuff.
that is the swap k-member/mounts correct? what a-arms are those, with or without spring perches? shoot me a price if you could, thanks.

if you are using stock a-arms, why do you need tp buy $39 spring perches? or are you talking about the complete kit they have listed? what is the price on the complete kit?

because on the stock K memeber the perches are part of it, the aftermarket K's dont have them, they bolt to the frame with the 2 large bolts on the framerail.

Google AJE k members...Kinda scary!
Ask the Mopar guys about them...Again, kinda scary!
Reports of failed welds, screwed up geometry.
I looked at 1 some yrs ago, for my Hemi Belvedere.. Was told "race only, not designed for the street."

Also look at the dates of most of those complaints. All of them are from "some years ago".
Many people on this board have used the MU3030 and have'nt complained.

I just ordered one of their K-members along with the motor mounts. I just ordered the Kooks longtubes that are designed for those K-members. Mine is going in a 04' Mustang, not a Fox, but both places assured me things will still fit just fine!!
