[QUOTE="Rusty67, post: 10436588, member: 102787"] This is from PA's website right on the page where you order the crossmember: "NOTE: While we sell this product as "streetable", it is still a race-inspired piece and may not be choice for an everyday driver." That statement is enough to make me not want the piece. It seems to me if I wanted to go with a K at all its going to be MM and I'll have to go coil over. I know it has been debated many times on different forums but I don't like the way coil overs load the strut towers. They were not engineered for that load and I worry about fatigue over time. My friend's fox body has had the rear shock tower rip right out after years of coil over use. I haven't heard first hand account of this happening on the front yet but I do know that the front was not designed to have the sping load go through the shock towers. [/QUOTE]
