best tubular k member?

PSI GUY · 10-14-2001, 12:37 PM

Im putting together an EFI twin turbo 5.8 78 Fairmont. Im trying to get it as light as possible while keeping it as stock looking on the outside as possible. Im thinking about a tubular kmember,a arms, and coil over kit. Which ones do you recomend? Do any of them offer different mounting points for the engine, preferable down and rearward. THANKS

On my Jegste...I mean mustang, I've got the HAL k-member, its a pretty light piece, and offers some engine setback, drop mounts would take some height out too. I think AJE and UPR offer chromoly steel k-members? AJE might make the lightest units and system for drag racing

If you go the mail order route. Go through summit for the set-up. although I like jegs. I've got a Hal k-member, granitelli arms, granitell springs, and Hal struts. So its not a system and you'll have mess with the components to get them to work together. Unlike summit which I beleive offers the whole HAL system (k-member, struts, CC plates, springs, ect).

I want the southside k-member with the removeable centre section.

no more oil pan problems or bearing check problems.

Just make sure it is not a Ground Pounder. I had one and finally got rid of it and bought a Hal.
