Depends upon what you are looking for--as far as plans for the car. Drag racing--there are a ton of choices. Road Racing/Autox/HPDE? Maximum Motorsport or Griggs.

If its a drag car or street/strip car I would go with a UPR. Their front suspension package seems to work pretty well and is priced well.

I just purchased a complete QA1 kit ( K-member, control arms, and coil overs) for $480 shipped BRAND NEW !!! It's not as light as the UPR's from what I've been told, But for a $300-400 cheaper, I'll take the weight !! LOL

It will be for a street strip car. Can you bolt stock stuff on aftermarket k memeber or do you have to get the whole package ? i just plan on gettin a k memeber not worried about the other stuff .. stock suspenion is good enough for me.. just might want a lowerin kit that still transfers weight maybe eibach or something

Send it back. I have a qa1 k-member and a arms, they work fine, but they push your wheelbase out 3/4". Which makes your wheels rub on turns.

If I had it to do over again, I would go with upr, and I'm not a upr fan.

Oh yeah, the Qa1 should be fine on 91-93 cars, they have wider wheel well openings.

I've got the UPR k-member kit and I'm really pleased with it......it's extremely lightweight yet very strong and it looks awesome.




Peace :cool2:

Mine worked fine after I trimmed the edges off the mounting points. I got mine used also

It's only 200 cheaper and it is chrome moly so it is lighter as you said. I have UPR in everything that I own and really like them. I also put in Qtr milerocket's Kmember in and he bought if from me. They had some quality issues years ago, but their stuff is top notch now.
I have a used QA1 that I have for sale, if you are interested.
