Rather than going the lightest, why not get the strongest? I have heard of too many failures of the PA k members to buy one, but thats your call

My UMI k member should be here any day now, I got mine on sale from Summit for $416

MOST of the light ones are for drag racing ONLY!!! Good ones for cornering/road racing are pretty damn heavy.

i am trying to ride wheelies lol, so i am looking for the lightest front end i can get. plus i'm building a sya bar. the umi stuff looks nice, but heavier. i plan on taking it easy on the street. and this car is definetly not built for cornering anyhow. i didnt know if a vendor on here would have a sale or anything or be able to get them cheaper than buying direct.

Google search, I have seen quite a few, then a couple broken BMRs, but they were the old design. But I was just saying I have seen more PA Ks broken than any other, but its your car do what you want. I wasn't concerned about the weight, but I wanted strength so UMI got my business
