Aftermarket K - member?

Hey, anybody know who makes an aftermarket K member assembly for the 3rd gen? I know I saw a website with one once, but I can't remember whose it was now. Thanks in advance..

Thunder racing has an awesome tubular one. I plan on picking one up once I'm ready to drop in a new engine.

That thing looks awesome.

Does anybody here have one of those? I guess the best option would be to get the one with the spring perches and motor mounts on it too right?

How about A-arms? Do they make the arms for our F bodies too?

Yep, just scroll up a bit on that same page, they also have tubular A (controller) arms too.

Thunder Racing is also a sponsor of thirdgen.org, so it's always good to support them.

Not sure if anyone is running one here yet though. I think I saw pictures of it in the drag racing section of thirdgen. So someone might have one.

(edit) Also, i'm sure you can e-mail or call their tech department, and ask them some questions. They will be able to answer your questions and make sure it's right for your application.

You might want to do some research on the PA Racing K-Members. Some members have had some bad expereinces with them, and I've heard from one too many people that they arent the strongest units available, and are not reccomended for street use. You'll also hear people say they they have no problems with em, lol.

Well, thanks for the heads up. That's alot of money to spend for something that might not hold up too well.

My car is primarily spring and summer weekend driver only with drag race use primarily, but street will be important too.
