no longer among the coilover converted

well i just couldn't get my car as low as i wanted too so now i have to go back to standard spring style perch design and put the air struts up for sale on ebay. i got lucky and never had an issue with the conversion thankfully, now the search for a well made standard chromoly k-member.

any new ones out there in the last 6 months?

Where the heck have you been? BMR, PA Racing and at least another have been making them before Spohn got his out the door.

I like my AJE racing kmember, has more gussets in place now than older designs and I haven't had an issue with the new design at all.

Sorry, my response was to Sonix


I don't know of any others off hand so I guess it's the 4 companies putting them out unless there's some other 1 off parts that are being made.

Re: no longer among the coilover converted

i may have to have one made to do what i want.. i really hope i don't though as i hate spending so much on parts for a thirdgen. my pa unit has been great and if i knew for certain they made them just as good today i wouldn't hesitate in a second to pick another up but so many people have complained about them recently i'm skeptical again. i'd just pick up a spohn but i don't have that type of time to wait.
