That's the same setup I had on my 93gt. Didnt have any problems. At first I was worried with the coilovers rubbing the wheel/tire. I still have the A-arms and coilovers with the AJE k-member and still no problem. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I wanted to know it would work before I ordered it.:thumbsup1:

No problem. I was worried about it myself when I ordered it. I think if I was running 17x9 it would be more of a problem.

I had a QA1 k member with 18x9's on my 89lx and they tucked fine, but my problem was the tires hit the fronts of the wheel openings due to the smaller fender openings on the 90 and older cars. I ended up finding some 91-93 fenders/moldings to get them to work. eacobra's car is a 93 so unless your fenders have been updated to newer ones you may want to do a little more checking. Mine looked great, I just couldn't turn the steering wheel :D I know you have a UPR k member so it may be different, but thought I'd share how mine worked out.

some of the qa1 members are positive 1 inch, I checked and the upr is supposed to be factory location. we will see I ordered the upr kit this morning.

If that was the case with mine then moving the a arms back 1 in would have solved the problem. Hope it works out for ya, keep us posted. BTW, is that the size wheel that's on the car now?

Cool. Looks like I should have done some research before I ordered at QA1 set up! :angry:
