I am considering installing tubular front K members in each of my cars (78 Fairmont 2 door sedan, 85 Mustang HB), but I have heard that many of the aftermarket K members move the wheels further outwards, and/or lengthen the cars wheelbase, neither is a change I really want to deal with. I have also heard that most of these K members are designed for the later 87-93 Mustangs, and that can cause fitment issues when trying to install 1 in an earlier car. Both my cars are dragstrip use only, so I don`t really care about changes made to improve handling, or a cushy ride on city streets. On the Fairmont, which has a heavy, all iron 428FE engine, and has been known to wheelstand pretty high, I would prefer to retain stock lower control arms with the factory coil springs for the strength. Has anybody had any experiances, good or bad, with installing an aftermarket K member in a early FOX, preferably a 78 Fairmont. The main reason for wanting to go this route on my Fairmont is its about time to have a new set of custom made headers built, and a tube K member frees up so much more room under the hood. Losing a few pounds is just a bonus.
