coil over shocks or lower control arms

i was on www.thunderracing.com and they have PA racing k-members which i am looking to buy along with a set of lower control arms that are adjustable but they dont have a set of spring perches so i thought i could try to find a set of coil overs or a set of lower controls arms that are adjustable with spring perches any help would be great
thanks

You can use the factory A-arms with the PA racing crossmember. They also have a tubular A-arm available.

You can't just install any coilover kit. You still need to use a third gen style front struts then buy the coil over kit to go on it.

The coil over kit eliminates the factory spring and installs a coil spring over the front strut.

All the PA racing products are listed at www.paracing.net

I'm sure PA Racing will build you a set of the adj A arms w/spring perches if you ask them.

I just completed installing their K member and non adj A arms w/ spring perches. Even though they say you can use stock A arms with their K member, it will NOT work. The forward part of the A arm will rub on the crosstube because the stock A arm is too thick. It will actually bind during full suspension travel. I did not want to grind on the A arm or K member because it may weaken that area and cause a crack. I went ahead and got their tubular A arms because it provides a lot more clearance in that area. Now it works perfectly!
