few questions

im installing my new tubular kmember, lakewood 90/10s, and trick springs...

what are some good a-arms? spohns, are pricy... so thanks, but no thanks.

what about the upper strut mount? who makes a good one? should i just go with my oem? parts stores seem not to carry them, so where can i get them?

this car is mainly a street/strip. i dont care about a rough ride.

everyone seems to dislike the PA stuff(way to many isues). I'd look into AJE or BMR. - I agree on spohns high prices...I'm cutting 1.6x 60'fts on 17's with all homemade suspension pieces...w/o removing the sway bar or using drag struts.

the kmember i have is AJE's. im currently waiting on the spring perches. i havent decided on whos a-arms i was gonna run basicly because of cost. they all seem soo freakin expensive.

any thoughts on strut mounts?
what homemade stuff are you running?

I was looking at the KYB strut mounts. I plan on getting KYB struts soon and noticed in the Summit catalog that they sell a strut mount. I don't remember the price but certainly cheaper than Spohn. However those Spohn strut mounts look bullet proof etc. Overkill for me. I don't think I've seen a picture of the KYB strut mount. Probably on the KYB web site...
