BMR K-Member Question I just read this on their website
What exactly is the reasoning behind this?
NOTE: While we sell this product as "streetable", it is still a race-inspired piece and may not be choice for an everyday driver.

Because alot of people have ended up with broken welds on their k-members due to normal everyday hazards of the roads in many places such as pot holes and drop offs and whatever else you can think of that you may see in day to day driving.Basically their just covering their rearends.

Any way to strengthen or reinforce it? I'm asking mainly because the BMR K-Member is needed for a new Twin Turbo kit coming out from APS. I would LIKE to have a daily driven, street car. But I would hate to buy an expensive and difficult to replace thing if it'll just get torn up by using it.

Ok, ok, my point... if I can get a BMR k-member by this Friday, I won't accept the UMI one. The word from other folks is the newest BMR piece is pretty good. I need my daily driver back now... I depend on it.
