Default K-member, BMR vs. PA?

I have the BMR K-member (with the integral motor mounts) now (happy with the results) but I am wanting to convert to plate mount (front/mid plate) and thus would be replacing this K-member with one that does not need the mounts (no longer need the motor mounts).


With that in mind (fresh slate), which K-member seems to be the better product (strength, fit, etc....)? It needs to retain the factory steering rack for now (don't have an extra $500+ to sink into a pinto manual rack).


thanks guys

Not the PA for sure! Mine was a real PITA to install. All kinds of fitment issues.

I have owned a the PA, AJE and BMR. BMR is the one I put on my car.

Anthony Jones Engineering (AJE) can be ordered set up for what your looking for.

BMR may also build you one minus the motor mounts.. But, if you already have the a BMR, I say cut off the motor mounts and save yourself the $$$

I've heard the PA k-member is a piece of junk. (bad fitment and they break)

I would cut them off, but I can basically sell the one with motor mounts I have now for the same that I can buy a new one without the mounts (its cheaper).

And add the fact that you can't even get your front end aligned with the PA! They still owe me $20 for a new rod end I had to buy to replace their junk.
