Tubular K member with spring perches?

I am looking to get a tubular front end from PA racing and saw they have a k-member with and with out spring perches. If I get one with the spring perches would I be able to cut out the front wheel wells that hold the factory struts?

Re: Tubular K member with spring perches?

No, the k member with spring perches allow you to use factory coil springs as opposed to using a coil over kit. A coilover kit mounts the coil springs directly around the struts. I don't know of a "kit" that will allow you to get rid of the struts.....

Re: Tubular K member with spring perches?

Basically what Kevin said but it also depends on what your doing/using the car for. If you get a tubular K member without spring perches and run coil overs may be better for racing or drag. I have a tubular K member from sphoon performance with spring perches. I going to run race springs and kyb agx's(bolt in factory locations).
