bought a PA K member when i worked for a speed shop. Having doubts about fit quality as well as durability. does any one run this k member and maybe have a picture of one installed?

Is the ride quality the same or at least tolerable with stock struts and sway bar?

Is it good for the street?

Any info apperciated.
Thanks
Mike

Last year at NASA Nationals in Ohio, I helped repair a PA K-Member that had broken the steering rack mounting tabs. It had broken in the same place prior. This time, it was gussetted and rewelded.

Haven't heard about any issues since then. But we did encourage him to look closely at the UMI road racing unit.

FWIW, the UMI road racing K-member is the only design that I have seen that I feel comfortable running on the street.

I've had mine Spohn k-frame on since march 07 with zero issues.

thanks for the info, it seems that the control arm spacing is to large and fit ment is not great and there are no provisions for brake lines. just seems like it was slapped together. UMI looks very nice as well as spohns.... to bad i all ready have this one. If i got rid of it surely would have got something from umi...
