PA Racing K-member with stock A-arms

I was wondering if anyone had installed stock a-arms with the PA K-members. I seen on their site that stockers could fit with minor adjustment. Interested in seeing what this adjustment involved. Thanks

Re: PA Racing K-member with stock A-arms

You can, if you cut the K member A Arm mounting points off, move them to the correct spots and lengthen the tube they mount to. (Driver side is the worst).
Because, as they told me, my car was wrecked and these cars are different from side to side. Funny the A Arms measure the same tho.

Considering I had to cut apart my PA k-member, and weld it back together just to fit the PA racing A-arms they make for it, I'd say it can't be any worse.

One of the few parts I regret. If I could do it over again, I'd still get a tubular K, but not from them.

They did not want to make it right, either, except for sending it back to them, and waiting 8+ weeks for another one.

This was probably close to 10yrs ago now, and all the powder coat is cracking off the whole thing, and the A-arms ... the car was garaged it's entire life up until last spring, too.

I'd look elsewhere.

I had to cut the thing and lengthen it to fit the PA RACING A-ARMS THEY MADE FOR IT.

They were about 3/8" of an inch too wide to fit into the pockets, just sitting on then bench if I remember right.
