Well i so far all i have to say is good things about PA Racing! I ordered it Tuesday and got it on Saturday. I got the Tubular K-member with Tubular a-arms and sn-95 ball joints. Quality looks great. As for fitment goes, i'll be installing it this week and i'll see how it lines up. It keeps the stock specs and allows the use of my Energy Suspension motor mounts which i love by the way.(Some companies i looked at only worked with their compaines engine mounts:notnice: ) It looks/feels strongs and should looks some weight up front along with looking alot better!

Looks just like my PA racing member, I reused my stock A-arms to save money for the time being but will get tubular one someday, but I want the adjustable ones.

I too run prothane motor mounts (not energy suspension) these:http://store.summitracing.com/partd...840126+4294924930+4294908282+115&autoview=sku

I would have liked to compare them to the thickness of a energy suspension one. I went with these because they were 40$ cheaper.

I bought them when I was in the process of installing the k-member because I found that my mount were really bad. They had like no rubber left at all.

When it was all said and done I had hood issues and I have a 3/4" ram air hood from cervini's. The prothane mounts that I bought are twice as think as the stocker convertible mounts.

I don't think the problem was related to the PA k-member at all. Only mod I have made to make it all fit was I couldn't run my 1" intake spacer and had to remove that hose hook-up on the throttle body to the oil filler to get the hood to close.

Jason at PA Racing said it does NOT alter the stock specs what so ever. Doesn't move the engine back/forward/down or up. It was probably your mounts. I'm running a stock hood but i have the reversed turbo hood scoop on there if i need to cut a hole for clearance. But i shouldn't have to. And my motor mounts were shot too! Just the stock 225 hp ripped them apart. No way i was putting in stock replacements with 550 rwhp. :rolleyes:
