K-member and A arms ????

88workcar · 08-12-2003, 08:56 PM

I am going to order in a few weeks, which ones should I stay away from?

Oh I just pulled the E7s off, Edelbrocks are itching bad.

Guessing you are going with tubular? I used D&D kit and it fit great!

VeNuM · 08-13-2003, 08:41 AM

D&D, QA1, Groundpounder are all the same thing. Lots of people have a heck of a time putting them in because the holes don't line up. My advice is go with an Anthony Jones Engineering setup, easiest and best setup by far in my opinion. ~Brian

I had a great experience with my maximum motorsport setup. I'm tellin ya...you put these kits side by side and you'd know which one to put in your car!

many of the kits are drag oriented and not best suited for street durability

I love my QA1 k member. however, I am using the stock A arm setup. My only beef with this K member is that I had to grind the heck out of two of the stock A arm mounting bolts to clear the K member where it mounts in the rear. Also, had to grind both A arms in the front because they wouldn't clear the K member. But, if you go with the tubular A arm setup, I think that would solve both probs because the bushings are way smaller and they give you new mounting hardware I think. Anyway, in my opinion, the QA1 k member is the best deal at $229 brand spanking new from jegs.

Been using a Griggs setup since '97... only had two choices then, lol, either D&D or Griggs. If I were to do it again, I would go with either AJE or PA. They both offer excellent header clearance, and aren't associated with install problems like some of the others out there.

I went with the Griggs unit, mostly cause I wanted the geometry for corner-carving.
YOU appear to want a drag race setup, so you can do the D&D one that others I haev seen use.

See my install photos off my hompage.

Well I really did have my eyes on the D&D kit. I wanted yall to say that it was a good kit. Thanks to all.
