I'm a genius and I had had zero experience with suspension prior to this, so I figured I would torque down the A Arms to spec without having a load on them. My first impression of the A arms was that they were very noisy. K member bolted up nice and smooth after this point. But, it would be nice to have this mentioned so I would have known this was coming. The solution to this is notching the washer where the weld is so it won't hit it anymore. It's not the end of the word, because finding another ground wasn't that hard.Īs the K member is bolted up, you will notice that some of the washers will hit the welds on the K member. I have not seen this in any other posts that I have read about Team Z, so I figured this would be worth mentioning.

My problem that I ran into, was that on the driver side there is a ground from the block to the frame that is covered up by the K member. It's very light weight so even one person can do it if you are lacking a set of helping hands. Installing the K member was relatively easy. I forget how many bolts and washers came with, but I know I could have walked out of the hardware store with less invested. If I were to go back, I would have saved myself some money and went to the hardware store for the grade 8 hardware that was included. I went ahead and purchased the hardware kit from Team Z so I would have fancy new hardware that would look great with the new K member. it's easy to tell when you lift the stock K member compared to the Team Z K member that there is weight savings. Man, this thing saves a ton of weight! Something like 40lbs off of the front. The K member Kit First impression on this was a wow factor. I had previously purchased offset bushings for my steering rack, I'm almost 100% positive you will need those. From him, I ordered the following parts : Team Z K Member Kit (Includes K member, A Arms, Coil overs), Team Z Caster / Camber plates, Team Z Sub Frame Connectors, Some stainless steel brake lines, Maximum Motorsports Bumpsteer Kit (tapered) and Bilsteins from Maximum Motorsports. He made stuff seem pretty easy and straight forward so I would be able to get everything bought / purchased in one place.
I purchased my parts through a vendor I found on Facebook.
I am still working on putting my car together, so there are parts that I still have not had time to get around installing. This is an INSTALLATION review and I will try to be as thorough as I possibly can. So, with that being said, I have no idea how these feel when driving. I mocked the kit up and decided to go with Maximum Motorsports instead. I'm going to say a couple disclaimers before I get too far into this. This is my completely honest review of Team Z's K member kit.
