Default WHICH K MEMBER AND A ARMS ARE YOU USING?

Sorry I know this is probably in the wrong section but they have asked in the other section and not to many responses. Which k member and a arm set up do you recommend. I heard from badz that he like the PA stuff and then another member says his has been nothing but trouble with PA fitting right and having to mod it forever to fit right. Does anyone know anything about AJE racing stuff i think it is Anthony Jones?? What about BMR? Sorry for all the questions hope someone can help.

I am using the PA K-Member and BMR A-Arms. Both work very well. No modding to make it fit.

I have the PA chromoly K-member but I use the Strange Engineering complete strut shock package which elimanates the top a-arm this is designed for stock strut towers. see Strang Engineering. This setup is the lightest you can have next to going with a ultra drag race strut. I have had the PA chromoly arms with QA1 adjustable shock setup and it was very nice and the car had no alignement problems what so ever. Here is a pic of how the front tire ride height setup looked like with the PA arms and K-member without the engine in the car all of which can be adjusted. Very good quality!

Do any of you guys drive around daily with the K-member, A-arms? How is it?

I'm thinking about doing it to my car, but I drive a lot...

For a daily driver. Go for a BMR setup. I've been able to compare the PA, AJER and BMR in the past 2 years. The BMR is whats going on my car (heavy street use).

The tabs for the control arm mounts on the PA K member are built very light and would concern me on a daily driver.

The AJER K member is well built, actual pockets for control arm mounts. Their control arms are a little on the light side.

The BMR K member and control arms are built "beefy" and appear to be the best for continued street use IMO.

FWIW, I used to daily drive the PA K-member before the car turned into a trailor queen. Drove it for about a year or so like that.
