i like my Pro Fab unit as far as quality appearing, but it's yet to go on the car. i however would prefer not to do business with them again as their service was poor both times i dealt with them. so, i would say spend the extra and go with the BMR unit imo.

I have dealt with the BMR guys, they are a great bunch! I use their stuff exclusively on our Z28. I will be using their stuff on our 2001 Camaro SS in the future as well.

I put in a BMR K Member and lower A Arms this winter. Fit was great. I would recommend BMR.

Another vote for BMR. IMO, if the car will see alot of street miles, it's the only choice.

Why is that? Just curious, cuz i'm in the market for a k-member also, and the car is driven on the street quite often, so what makes the bmr member better for the street than any of the others, I kind of thought they were pretty much all the same?

I have a BMR in mine, but will be switching to an AJE down the road.

PA Racing makes a good one as well and all three companies can do them in mild or C/M, although I'd only use mild steel for a street car.

If for no other reason than tubing size. The other k-members are made out of smaller tubing for lightweight and IMO are more built for a race setup.

I owned a PA, AJE & BMR k-members and arms. The BMR is the one I put in my car. If my car was a race car, I might have stuck with one of the others, probably the AJE.
