Swapping in an ls1 and looking for a K member?

What do guys recommend for a K member to make the swap easier but still be able to use stock suspension and brakes?

Speaking for myself, and my buddy who owns a 4th gen, UMI is the best. Their price is excellent. They have great customer service, and the most important thing, their parts are top notch. UMI hands down.

The guy who built my car has a Spohn, and he said that next time he'll be going with UMI. All of the decent K-members are set up that all the stock stuff bolts on. That said, I'd buy tubular A-arms as well.

Re: Swapping in an ls1 and looking for a K member?

thanks for the info guys. PA has great prices looks like if you are going with just a k member swap. But the UMI just looks like a better all around product to me. Im going with UMI and getting their K member kit with A arms included, wonder bar, subframe connectors, and control arms. that should get me a good start on the suspension. I can always add Later.
