could you show pictures, also does it feel alot better with it on the car. also its just a direct replacement from the stock on, no coil overs needed?

a k member install is a k member install. the only thing that could take longer is squaring it up if need be but thats not even a big deal; doesnt matter if its a steeda, psr, upr, or mm its all pretty much the same. im 100% positive if you just look at a pic of the steeda k member and see if it has aftermarket a arms as well or uses stock youll be able to tell if it has spring perches. not too hard to figure out just like 90% of ur posts. do a little leg work instead of waiting on someone to figure it out for you.

Why do people respond to threads if they are going to leave nasty comments? No one is forcing you to answer his question. If you have a problem helping others you should just get off this site.

The installation is just like any other k member... Steeda's kmember uses stock control arms and has 2 mounting positions for stock coil springs. One position is for cars lowered an inch and a half or less, and the other is for cars lowered more than an inch and a half. This is to achieve proper front end geometry. They have also made the rack mount adjustable for proper Ackerman geometry.

As of right now Steeda told me they are not planning on selling a tubular a arm for this deal... It would be nice if it dropped more weight then it does but it is absolutely designed for street use. I'm very happy with mine! I've also have a QA1, UPR, and 2 custom built k members in different cars I've owned... the Steeda piece is stout!

Although I have not installed the STEEDA unit,
I do know they are very serious about handling and steering geometry.
I also know how much development went into it.
(The designer/engineer is a genius)
IF (big If) I ever do one on the 5.4 car,
it will be a STEEDA unit powdercoated Red.
I will not even consider anything else. (that is just me)
