They are very nice, I recommend using all aje front end components. I went with upr a-arms and ended up having to have a machinist make me a new sleeve for the upr a-arms. Since the upr a-arms use a bigger bolt then the aje k member does to bolt the a-arms in. Other then that i would recommend them.

AJE k-member I have one in my car, I think the quality sucks, they powder coat right over the weld splatter, I also used their LS motor mounts, the holes had to be elongated for 2 of the bolts to fit. I drive mine on the street almost daily. Originally I used their A arms but they use a very hard poly bushing which was very harsh for a street driven car, so I switched to UPR A arms which have a little softer poly, but I did have to different tubes in them to use the AJE bolts. All in all I would probably go a different route but there were no other K members made for the LSx motors in a FOX when I did mine, at least not without a bunch of fabricating, and I wanted to use Kooks headers so I did'nt have much choice.

MM makes one to use with the LS mounts but I don't want to spen 1800 if I don't have to. UPR makes one for modular motors but modular motor mounts are another $150. I don't want to buy inferior parts. Alot of the guys on some mustang forums say to go with MM all the way for the best. Of course I don't tell them what V8 I am swapping in bc I wouldn't get any feedback then.

I installed one in my 95 mustang.I am still working on it and have not driven the car yet. The one thing I found out is you have to also order the spring perches if you are running stock lower control arms.

Been running mine for over a year now and its holding up fine. Fit great. Im using stock control arms with new bushings and upr coilover setup but was using their perches and some ford racing c springs.

My car has a aje k..fits nice,welds are nice..i run upr a arms on mine..i didnt have to make anything..took the bushing that comes with the k mem an slid it into my upr arms bushings an i was done..no problems at all..i run strange coil over kit with qa1 14"x130# springs..car is still being built..just got a ls1 to use in it vs the lt1 i was doing..
Only thing i dont like about aje is the motor mounts on the universal kit how it only use 3 bolts per side.

It fit good, I bolted it in with no problems...I have the tubular A arms too. I have driven all over in mine, streets and interstate, it drives great, no issues at all with it. Mine had weld splatter too, but that wasn't a big deal to me.

Bringing back an old one guys. I just bought a fox body that has a UPR tubular k member for a 302, UPR A Arms or whatever you call the lower control arms and Coil overs.
I'm trying to avoid replacing everything. Gonna try to fab new mounts for the UPR first, but if that doesn't work I may just buy a AJE k member. If I do that, should I be able to use the UPR lower control arms on the AJE cross member?
TIA
