I totally agree!

Would be nice to see how the k-frame tubes slope down after the frame rail bolts on the passenger side so I can get an idea if my big 2 1/8th inch Kooks will clear....especially the # 2 cylinder.

I have been so busy at work and running when possible to chassis shop that is 45 min each way..... will get some close up pics this weekend

Would be interested in one for an 87-88 but i would want the stock style motor mount pads as i am using chuckw motor mounts and prefer them over the mustang ones.

Are there any pics of the k-member larger than what's posted in the vendor thread?

What are the weights of the various components?

Thanks for the weights.

Do the a-arms include ball joints? Is there a choice of ball joints?

I'd really like to see some big pics of the k-members.

Sorry I have to agree. I would buy a 87-88 style today but if you don't have what I need I'm not going to buy one.

Also there's a lack of information that people keep on asking for. Better pictures where we don't need a magnifying glass to see them and weight. I don't think this should be hard to do.

+1 to the two previous posts.

See the picture at the bottom of this message? That's two potential sales, if, IF, it is an appropriate purchase. I've already stated the criteria for my decision.

I agree as well. No pics....????

I was curious as to why the decision was made to use the 83-84 T-Bird /Cougar dimensions? It seems I am not the only one that prefers the 87-88 dimensions.
