Post One last question about K-members

Ok...I'm in the market for a new front suspension (tubular K-member, A-arms, and probably a coil over kit) but I don't know where to go to get it. Everyone's told me that Griggs is pretty much the only name in town for street/road race use, but at around $2000 for the front I'm not sure I can afford it since I'll be doing the rear suspension at the same time as well as many other things. I've seen other setups from places like D&D, Granetelli, HAL, Ground Pounder (CCM), etc. but haven't heard much about them. I've already settled on a MM panhard bar/torque arm setup for the rear and I know they have a tubular K-member coming out...but I don't know when or how much it'll be. I'd just like to hear some thoughts from you guys.

I went with the Griggs k-member:


Yeah, I just followed the crowd, BUT if everybody at the track recommends them, I am going to go with them. I never have seen the other k-members, but that kinda says something in itself.
www.alanchavis.com has some nice writeups on his site about the MM stuff.

Hey Drudis...ca you tell me exactly what parts are in that picture and, if you can remember, how much it all cost you? I won't be doing the install so I'm not concerned with the ease of installation really...mainly right now I'm focusing on prices. I'm getting a good feel for who sucks and who doesn't but I just can't believe that Griggs is the only girl at the dance...especially when they're so much more expensive.

There is the K-member, control arms, bumpsteer kit, and coilover hardware. I ogt a _screaming_ deal on these.
Try www.griggsracing.com for pricing. Actually, watch the classified and at opentracking.com . They sometimes have some used stuff pop up, and you can save a few bucks.
