Default K-Member

I recall one brand K Member may be better than the others, but I can't find the info in the search. Any comments on durability or design for the various manufactures would be appreciated. Thanks!

Haven't there been some that are prone to cracking at the welds?

I have a BMR on one car and it's nice. UMI looks really good too, probably go with that one when I do the next car.

I've got a UMI K member. It's not the lightest from what I've heard but it looks very strong and of course, gorgeous. I just bolted mine up to the motor. Looking to get it in the car next weekend barring bad weather. UMI makes good quality products. It seems like alot of people are running their stuff over the other two popular choices.
