A word of caution.

I have direct info that those adjuster sleeves they are using for the coilover kits will break if you run them for alittle time then try and reposition them. Those adjuster sleeves are only .065" walls BEFORE they cuct the threaded adjustment provisions into them. Thats paper thin and scary. They also have no support on the upper fenderwells and the fenders will start to bulge under the mounts- Kandied has also confirmed this happping to his car (A second source)

I just installed my K-member last night and I agree they are nice. After weighing everything you end up saving right near 40 lbs, plus gain a bunch of clearance. Fit was right on with only one issue of the right rear mount for the A-arm, it was bent out slightly, but came back once the arm was tightened.

As for the coil-over kit, I stuck with the factory spring setup, as I am not convinced there is any great weight savings in the coil-over setup, maybe 6Lbs and the loss of strength in that area does not offset it.

They used to be one company called Performance Automotive, or PA racing. Jason kept the PA racing name and Vern started ProFabrication. You can get mild steel or chromoly, but the chromoly is more expensive. They're both made basically the same way. Jeff no longer works there and Sam was just a fill-in, So ask for Vern.

I did not get a break down of my pricing, but I would say they charged less than $150.00, since I got both the K-member and arms in CM, it was hard to determine pricing.

Overall, for both, mine was about $200.00 more to go CM all the way around.
