Ok fellas looks like my cobra is getting upgraded with a Tubular k member along with coil overs.

Question is which company to go with, car just got a MM k member brace installed back in March. The most reasonable one we found was Qa1. Since we can still use the stock arms( have new bushings and ball joints) and only get coil overs.

The goal is to the best handling before getting it shipped to me.

Which I just think my ex father in law is love with the mustang since he keeps upgrading it

I've had a complete UPR front end before and currently have a complete QA1. Both work and I haven't had a single problem with either one.

If you are after the best handling, I recommend sticking with Maximum Motorsports. Get the whole front end kit and be done with it.

BMR for sure..and hands down.

They have a lightweight standard version and another premium version that is more like the discontinued steeda...both with or without spring perches.

Also takes the OEM LCAs

lots of recent svtp threads about them.

I have the maximum motorsports and it seems to be beefier and built more for "life of the car" than some of the others.
one thing to keep in mind is that a lot of tubular k members are really focused on drag cars so that might not translate as well into road course or LONG TERM road use.

i think by the time I'm done I'll have every MaximumMotorsports part available for my IRS equipped cobra :D
with MM you get what you pay for. everything from them has been robust and high quality.

and I have BC racing coilovers BTW.

I have the MM K member package and coilovers in my 02, I havent driven o. It yet to be completely honest but I am very happy with the build quality and fitment of all their parts. I haven't even looked into any other company for the suspension on my 03

and Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

any reason why you need a tubular K-member?
Its my understanding K members reduce weight and improve the geometry of the front end. My 86K mile 98 Cobra is still OEM, but I spent a few days doing open track events at Road America and watch other SN95s turn flatter and really excell when tracking out of an apex all makes sense why K members are a good upgrade We all like a street drags once in a while, but nailing a perfect apex and hammering out of a turn on a twisty New England road (w/a k member) would be an ah-ha moment.
IMO :^D one day I'll get my setup. Other priorities for now, so I'm living vicariously through all you svt peeps. Thanks for that!

Great response!
Besides that, when is it ever about "need" with our cars?
It is always about "want" with our little money pits. ;-)
