does any one know if you have to use a caster camber plate on all of the after market k members as well as bump steer or is there one i can just buy and slap on the strange coil overs and my spindels and go?

the MM k-member is quality but a little heavy compared to others but great for a daily street driven car.

I had a AJE k-member the fit was ok, had to take a file a hole to get it square on the car.

Eric is no longer working at Maier Racing. He and Mike were sharing wrenching and fab work, but Mike was spending so much time running the business side as well that it may have appeared that Eric was doing all the 'work.'

AJE's look cheap. As a fabricator, I would rather see less individual tubes, and maybe a gusset or two? Looks like a pretty light part, but when you come off a wheel stand and the whole front of the car comes apart for the whole world to watch on youtube, 30 or 40 pounds savings doesn't seem worth it.

Team Z would be my choice.

First and Last time I purchased something from UPR was a set of headlights for my cobra. The bezel on the inside that scatters the light fell off within a week of install. I would be a little weary of buying a high stress item like a K member. Much less a key chain
