Well, not quite tubular, but aftermarket coil-over. Personally, I'd never buy any of 'em, but RMS has the best reputation out there.

Yes, square tube.

There are also Control Freaks, which is a round tube copy of the RMS, and the XV Level 2 stuff.

To the OP, what requriements define "best" for your application? Obviously each manufacturer thinks their solution is best or they wouldn't offer it. Do you need lighter weight, durability, ease of spring swaps, use of stock components, geometry improvements, or what???

Ive been banging the RMS system hard for 4 years now in alot of different setting and do a simple inspection and bolt check when I change front springs and its been flawless.

Its a part thats simple to install/setup maintain and with reg inspection out of simple common sense, you never have to worry about it.

Another vote for the RMS. I have installed 3 units into customers and mine own car. Only had the front end in since sept. 2011 but i racked up 3500 miles with no problems. Also it makes it a dream to work on the engine

I've never seen a bad thread about RMS K kit on Moparts. I have seen another brand K kit at the track, the car couldn't back up more than 10 feet. I don't get hung up about RMS not being all round tube, it looks strong enough for the street. Most important reason I bought RMS, I didn't want to gamble $3600 on a K member kit that didn't fit or drive correctly.

I love the RMS system, front and rear, but I can't tell you if there is a better one because I installed two, both RMS, and that's the only one I tried. I will tell you that it's going opn three years and a few thousand and no probs.

If the QA1 piece for the mopar is on par with the mustang ones, I'll have one.

Is it a race car or street car?

Drag car you also have Bob's Pro Fab who makes a great setup.

Street car RMS all the way.

I can tell you from personal experience to stay far, far away from an Anthony Jones Mopar kit.
