who makes the best aftermarket k-member sor street/strip applications?
 
Posted by rokcrln (Member # 2536) on :
 
For street and strip I would go with M&M or Grig's. When going on the street don't look for the lightest but look for the best build and the one that offers the most and best suspention corection in the product.

i like MM because i live 2 miles away from them and have talked to the owner but i have heard nothing but good about griggs

if it isnt a road race car go with the [worship] d&d or the aje k member. I have used both on the street with no problems. Make sure you use STEEL cc plates with the coil overs the aluminum ones from [BS flag] bbk/saleen Will break and ruin your hood and damage your front end. (as you can tell i had a bit of a problem there)

Be careful with the cheaper K members...They may be lighter but probably not half as strong as the stock k member....

Another vote for MM or Griggs. [patriot]

After market k-members that use triangulation in their costruction are the ones you should consider because short of the Factory piece, they are the strongest. Most aftermerket k-members are not triangulated, but the Griggs and MM pieces are.I think the AJE k-member looks very scary because it just looks structually unsound. The D&D and just about every other aftermarket k member looks flimsy too. An old thread over at the Corral talked about an after market k-member failure. You can also go on cornercarvers.com and get some good info about aftermarket k-members too.On my heavy 01 Cobra Convert, I think I might stick with the stock K-member

AJE and D&D are the most common on drag cars, these are cars that go wheels up every launch and I don't ever hear anybody breaking anything on there k-members so to say these are not structually strong is a joke, I would go with either one of these, they are very light and very strong!

A lot of NMRA racers also use http://www.paracing.net/ford_products1.htm
I have the D&D which header clearance was no better than stock. Still had to do some clearance work with a 351 and long tubes.

www.griggsracing.com its not that expensive for the k-member if you install it yourself.
