My Bad; I should have listed the MU-5001 with spring cups: http://www.ajeracing.com/mustang.php

Or you can purchase them from late model restoration; they have a better picture: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com...d-Steel-Tubular-Control-Arms-With-Spring-Cups

I would listen to Emilio on this one. Call AJE and tell them you're from WickedStangs and ask for a club discount. That will be your best bet at a great price.

By the way, I will be ordering a set for my car soon!!!

Still the HERO!!!! :byebye:

Why are you going to run an AJE k member with UPR arms? Why not use the arms that were intended for the K member you are buying? I hope you have a machinist who can turn some bushings for you if you mismatch the parts.

AJE makes a arms that have spring perches for people who don't want coil overs. I imagine since AJE is a sponsor here that you would get a discount on the parts, so not sure you why you want the upr arms anyway. Maybe because they are pretty silver? Either way you go get a k member and a arms from the same company since you are not going to be fabricating parts to make them work.

I've had Team Z and AJE tubular K members and both have come with new bolts. If you buy the AJE don't forget that the motor mounts are separate.

I'm saying if you wanted to purchase solid motor mounts from AJE they do not come with the K member. You could use your stock ones though. Not sure what your goals are for the car, but 150lb springs are for a lightened drag car. They won't do well on the street. You can't have the best of both worlds.

i already planned on buying solid motor mounts from maximum motorsports.
ill probably go with a higher rating spring. not a hard core drag racer.

Actually I just had a brain fart. The reason why I said that the mounts are different is because the AJE k member will only allow the use of their mounts. Their k members are universal, but you have to specify what mounts you want, be it 4.6, 5.0 etc.

Again all of this could be confirmed with a simple phone call to AJE. Not sure why you have such a hard on over getting 30 different companies involved for your front suspension. Pick one company and buy a kit. It will be cheaper and it will fit!

I guess you missed the part where I said if you are using an AJE K member you have to use AJE MOTOR MOUNTS.
