I'm looking to get a K member but there is a big difference in price between brands, I know you get what you pay for but I know some brands kick your wheels forward which I don't want and I see people talk about welds.

i have AJE..I paid around $700 for the k-member and the a-arms for the coil overs. best thing i ever bought..makes putting in headers a breeze and weighs half that of my stock one.

MM just released a non-forward offset K-member, the only road-racing oriented K-member of which I am aware to offer such a configuration.

MM and Griggs are the standards by which all others are judged. I wouldn't install anything else.

+1

The MM unit is quite a bit beefier than the Griggs and would make me feel a lot more comfortable on the street. If it's race car, I go Griggs. If it is a street car, I go MM.

The AJE, however, has been getting a lot of postive feedback lately. It will certainly lighten the front end and make header installs much easier, but don't expect the same level of performance as Griggs or MM in the twisties.

You get what you pay for.. I would get a Maximum Motorsports or Griggs K-member

Remember.. the K-member basically holds the whole front of your car together

Dam it, at the first Goodguys show someone had a Griggs set up torque arm k member a arms panhard bar everything (used) for I think 7 or 800. I didn't get it cause I didn't know if the car it came out of was in an accident, oh well.
