No plans for upgrading anything else unless I need to upgrade ball joints and maybe bump steer kit cuz my car is pretty low, can't even fit a jack under lol.

It was between killer chiller or the steeda k memeber. I was waiting to see how the BMR piece would come around but might just pull the trigger on this one.

I have both steeda x2 ball joints and bumpsteer and very happy. The k is also designed to accommodate those parts.

are the control arm mounting points forward offset like the Maximum motorsports? I assume maximum motorsports control arms are compatible with the steeda k-member?

I thought mm sold regular offset control arms and then the other style that moves the wheels forward. I didn't think the k member had anything to do with forward offset. I thought it was just the model of control arms and the design of them. I may be wrong though!

yeah 94slowbra1 is correct. the MM k-member offsets the arms. they sell offset arms for the stock k-member or other aftermarket k-members where the mounting points are not changed from stock. Now i'm just wondering where the steeda unit stands. I'm torn between the steeda and MM kmember.
steeda more expensive but doesnj't require oil filter relocation. MM is cheaper but requires the oil filter to be relocated and I would probably end up going with a full external oil cooler setup instead.

tubular arms. Already have front air struts. I want to extend the wheelbase but want to know if the steeda k-member moves the control arm pickup points forward like the maximum motorsports k-member. If not, I will get the MM forward offset control arms.

Haven’t seen a single one used except for a new one in Canada and he wanted full price. Probably gonna have to just buy one from steeda. I have think they’re built to order so I would plan accordingly! I might buy one on the next holiday sale.
