Default UMI K-member....so pretty

Thanks Bynuspeed and UMI for a beautiful product. Guess I could have posted this in the handling forum....but this is where the REAL suspension gurus and weight reduction messiahs hang out



Looks to be TOP quality. Very burly, a little heavier than I anticipated but I drive my car everyday!

.....No, I don't have a scale

Nice looking, no doubt. Have a grinder and a crow bar ready when you install it. It offers less clearance than the stock K. I had to grind around the drivers side header alot.

All of their products looked very nice in person at the N vs S race.

Really? weird. I am having a custom front mount turbo built so headers won't be an issue.

Carpet is just a mini rug in a high traffic area. Didn't pick it out

Sorry you had trouble with the header clearance

It depends on the header set-up, I think you have the Edelbroke set-up correct? We never tried the Edelbroke's with this, however we have tried the Pacesetters, Hooker, Kooks, QTP and a few others that cleared fine with addtional clearance. If is very hard to make a item clear with EVERY other aftermarket company out there, us manufactures do our best to build these items around the popular companies components but it is nearly impossible to test them all, especially as many new companies are entering the market. I will purchase a set of Edelbrokes and see what we can do to make it clear better with them, I think all we need is a notch the A-Arm gusset.

Thanks you,
Ryan
