Default Bmr or sphoon k member????

Ok i have been looking at speed inc's site and they are having a deal for free shipping on those k members and i am curious which is better??? Only real thing i am looking for is people who have these 2 k members and how well they bolt up,extra space they free up,weight savings and most important any regrets anybody has had with either or......

p.s. also ill be getting the upper and lower a arm package with it might as well go all out

I had the BMR set-up on my old ride, with the A arms...The install couldn't go any smoother...I did the install on a lift so it mades things pretty simple...The only thing is that if you get the A Arms you will have to buy new upper ball joints...The weight savings was good...I wanna say it was right around 40 pounds...Also freed up a lot of space...Headers cleared nicely...And one last thing...You will need to get a allignment really bad...

Thanks for the response Ryan. I'm deployed right now so I'll be in the market for some suspension stuff when I get back in September. I need to stiffen up the TA so I can hook when I go TH350

Ryan solicited input from road racers while prototyping his K-Member. Other brands had seen cracks and broken welds when put under stress.

You are going to hate me but we are at Curacao. We've been here for about two weeks and I'm already bored; I would have rather went back to Iraq
