You and me both, I have been looking for a K-member used for two years never have found one, I think I am going to just buy one outright with a-arms from Pa racing. Hey Kandied do you get new rims like every year?

depends on what street you live on. i haven't had any problems with my CM version here in michigan and everyone knows how lovely their roads are. i've bent rims, blown tires, etc. but the tubular pieces are all just fine.

plenty of friends running MS as well with no problems and that's just pa racing. there are dozens running other brands with no problems...

plenty of people running them on 4thgens. i never bothered to even look for the 3rdgen application. in essence they are all the same. some have different bracing in other parts.

unfortunately with most all suspension pieces certain areas need to be improved on for different uses. it would be very easy to add some more triangles to these setups to make them that much stronger if needed.

aje is about the best for fbody pieces that i've seen to date but it's alot more costly. thankfully every one i know personally and myself have been very happy with out pa units though so i can't complain.
