The difference between UPR's chrome-moly K-member and the stock piece is night and day. By swapping the factory frontend with the tubular setup, Mase is taking nearly 50 additional pounds off the front of his car.

The new A-arms are secured with the factory hardware. While A-arm- to-K-member alignment is spot on, a hammer may be required to tap the bolt through the sleeves.

A coilover kit consisting of sleeves, springs, and adjustment collars is included with UPR's Pro-Series K-member set. Mase ordered a pair of 14-inch/175-pound springs for his new frontend and installed the pieces around a set of Lakewood 70/30 front drag shocks that he had in storage.

Mase selected the Extreme Series bumpsteer kit to finish off his frontend due to its wide range of adjustment and the cool tapered spindle studs for each end. The studs fit perfectly and eliminate the need to drill through the spindle to install a large bolt.
