APS Kit with UMI K-Member
Does the UMI K-Member work with the APS Turbo kit? I know it was designed around the BMR, but I can get the UMI real cheap.
I doubt I'll ever get around to doing a turbo setup, but I always want to keep my options open.
Need answers real fast if possible

It said that you need to drop it a little to make it fit with the UMI. If it were a BMR, would it have slid in place or would you still had to have dropped it?

i believe it would just slide right into place with no issues. but if you can get that umi k member cheap i think it would be more worth dropping it a little bit and saving yourself a little extra cash. by the way thats a beautiful ride you have there.

Thanks for the compliments, I love the car but I recently lost control on a cold rainy day and sent it up on a curb damaging one of the CCWs and torching the stock k-member
I went to a frame alignment shop and they said the unibody is perfect, but I need a new K-Member and probably lower A-Arms. Cost me $250 to tell me the body is ok but it was well worth the peace of mind

Umi
Im running one with no problems at all and wouldnt trade my UMI K member for any other out there right nowI started out with a PA Racing, looked cheaply made. Bought a BMR and still wasnt totaly happy. Bought the UMI and am so glad i stayed with it! You made the right move guy!!Good luck with your build!The only issue i had was the steering arm rubbing on the inlet drivers side hose alittle, which i fixed by putting a 3 or 4'' stainless muffler band type clamp inbetween the two
