Guys I'm going custom single turbo on my 03! I'm debating on which k member to go with! I hear good stuff about MM, and UPR! I'm not relocating my oil filter, the car will be 60% street 40% drag! People talk about how noisy switching to coil over and k members can be that don't bother me unless it's ungodly loud! I just want the best combo I can get! Thanks

I don't want to use MM because it relocates the oil filter! I want to keep the oil filter where it's at! .

No complaints about my UPR kit but I have nothing to compare it to. The motor has been out of my car several times and I learned it needs to be set perfectly, or the motorcraft filter wont fit. It could just be my set up though.

Also my coilover conversion from UPR is cheap (that's why I bought them). Wouldn't buy them again after seeing the quality.

Team Z for drag and MM for street. You are building an entire turbo kit and putting on tubular suspension why is moving an oil filter the straw that prevents you from getting the best suspension?

I have had MM, UPR and QA1 over the years and I have to say that UPR is a far better built k member than the QA1. The QA1 moves the wheels out and forward, the welds and overall quality is not great. The MM is the best k-member I have seen, the quality is very good and beefy as hell but not much room for turbo applications even if custom made. I can't comment on the Team Z k-member but if it is built like there rear suspension I own it would be at the top of list.
