About to install my BMR K-Member + A-Arms! I just received my Tubular K-Member, Adj, Lower Control Arms, and Subframe connectors from BMR Yesterday! I am so stoked! The products look awesome! I thought they would come in red, but BMR now offers a 'Hammered Finish' powdercoat that looks sweet!
For those of you who are not familiar with my vert, it is an 00' SS Clone, 16k miles 362rwhp/347rwtq N/A, 498rwhp/511rwtq Spray.
As far as suspension/chassis is concerned, I only have a Strut brace, Sportlines/Bilsteins, trans tunnel brace installed so far.
This weekend I am going to install the K-Member, SFC's, A-Arms, and I also have a set of LCA's and an Adj. Panhard rod laying around waiting to be put in. This thing is going to go from Loose to tight in a weekend!, I can't wait.
Next month I am going to get a UMI Torque arm that mounts in the trans tunnel with a DS loop, some LCA reloc. brackets, and a converter. I figure I better install a DS loop when I do the converter OR ELSE. HAha.
Anyway, I have no Idea how many guys have Verts with tubular front ends on them, so I wanted to see who does. WHO HAS A TUBULAR FRONT END? HOW DOES IT FEEL COMPARED TO STOCK?
Aloha, Matt

Thanks Lee, I appreciate your help in getting this stuff over to me in Hawaii quickly, the products look excellent. I already had it torn apart before I ordered the BMR stuff so install shouldn't be too bad.
