Maximum Motorsports K-Member (Fits 79-95)
At the heart of the front suspension is the front K-Member. The K-Member ties the front frame rails together, locates your front control arms, as well as the engine. Maximum Motorsports understands the importance of this one component and have designed it to outlast the vehicle itself.
Changing out the K-Member to the MM unit is a big step in removing weight from the front of the car. While removing weight is important it shouldn't come at the expense of strength. Maximum Motorsports uses thicker gauge steel and larger tube sizes than others on the market to accomplish just that.
Note: This is a big mod, as mentioned this is the heart of the front suspension. Changing out the K-Member also requires:
- Tubular front control arms
- Front coil-over conversion with high-performance struts
- MM Aluminum Steering Rack Bushings
- Caster camber plates
- Bolt-through-style bumpsteer kit
- Short swaybar endlinks
- Front swaybar relocation brackets required with non-offset and forward-offset Front Control Arms
