PSR is the hands down best k member on the market right now imo. They are pricey at $995 for the k member and tublar a arms. I wouldn't go cheap on something that holds the front of the car together. Also they only weigh 34lbs.

AJE,D&D,QA1 and UPR are all decent parts.
I have an AJE K member and control arms on my car and i like it.

Only time I've ever heard of an aftermarket K-member breaking was on a wheels-up launch. My QA1 has seen SEVERAL THOUSAND street miles. Edgar's(WickedGT) QA1 has lasted him for several years with 9-sec passes. Another guy I know has had his QA1 in a street-strip application (SN95) for MANY years as well. I trust the part. The others mentioned have good reputations too.

I've had a Kenny Brown K-member & a-arms on my 94 for 7 years no problems. it's made of high strength chrome-moly tubing and it has a front wheel stretchout of 1" for better handling if that's what you're after.
only problem is you can't buy from KB right now but he's coming back soon.

Mine's bigger...

I have D&D and daily drove this thing for years. Like mentioned above, I've NEVER heard of any of them braking under normal use. Racecraft, AJE, MM, PA, and D&D would be my choices if I was buying now...

mine is getting a D&D k and A arms right now(along with lt's and cams)
D&D, AJE, UPR, PA racing are all good quality k members The maximum motorsports is definitely tougher but unless you are road racing its not really cost effective since it weighs just as much as the stock one(not that it isn't extremely high quality just not necessary) |
