Question Mustang k-member price differences

Just a quick thought - How is it that a Maximum Motorsport K member is an odd $600, and QA1, as well as Granatelli's sell them for $250? Are there that much of a difference in quality and design? I favour Maximum Mortorsport, but what do you guys think? I've just ordered the caster/camber plates, lower control arms, coil over kit, panard bar and sway bars.
Keep well, Pieter.

Heya Reggie
All good durability is my main concern! Having a blown 331 cu in winsor I do not want to take any chances? At 200 mph there are no second chances!?!? IF it was your car what would you fit !?

UPR and AJE are good k members, they should be able to handle whatever you throw at it.

Since the K-member forms the main structure of the front of the car, this is one area where you definitely can't afford to cheap out.
MM is very high quality but too expensive. UPR, AJE, and QA1 are much cheaper so the only question is whether they're of equal quality to the MM version. I suggest you search various forums and get the opinions of those who've installed these products to get first hand experiences.

i did check out your profile ....nice car

if you are a serious road race i would go with Maximum Motorsports K-member reagardless of the price....

the QA1 or UPR would be my second choice....

the aje is more drag race oriented than the others.....

as far as durability& safety the are all about the same....

good luck
