K-Member Advice.

Hey guys, I have a problem, my question is I want to buy a K-member for my LE3/355 build up I want to cut weight but am still iffy about the k-mem. It's for a 95Z, I plan on keeping PS,AC, and getting rid of abs and tcs. The car will see 40% street use and 60% track or 50/50. If I didn't get the K-mem I would be planning on upper and lower a arms with HAL shocks, but I'll probably only loose 8-10lbs on the Arms not really worth it huh, So should I stick with the stock K mem with qa1 shocks for the cars use??

the qa1 will be the best investment...get those first, the other stuff can wait and do it at once

I second the QA1s, you'll see more benefit from running those on all four corners at the track then the k-member.

if you drive on the street i would go with a 300
i would also go for the 90/10 version. they were not available when i got mine so i had to get them rebuilt and revalved

Be sure to get the rears too....far better than most other drag shocks for the price
