Default K member on a DD

I did a search and found a number of people who have had issues cracking their tubular k members. Does anyone in here run one on their daily driver?

Is there one that is strong enough to endure the normal abuse from everyday driving?

got a full umi suspension with strano/koni, rides a bit harsh and has more noise but i DD it and nothing has gone wrong other than hitting a huge pot hole that cause the lower shock mounts on the control arms to bend, and UMI quickyly sent me stuff to fix it. Other than that, no issues at all.

Our K-member is a very streetable set-up and will hold up just fine to all types of driving. We have many customers using this item on daily drivers and street vehicles

Hello, we have our k members on hundreds of daily drivers. Not only is our k member one of the lightest on the market it is also one of the most durable. BMR K-members are built using larger diameter 1-5/8" x .120" and 1-1/4" x .095" tubing yet still remain up to 7.5 lbs. lighter than the competitions due to our integrated mount design. When you combine our k member and lower a arms you will see a minimum weight loss of 42lbs. We also offer a high clearance turbo version. If you have any questions about this or any of our BMR products please give me a call.

Actually I like both UMI's and BMR's units. I actually have some pieces form both your companies on my car and happy with both so far.

Anyone else care to share their experiences with these k members in street or heavy use.
