is it worth the to you? down worry about what everyone else thinks is worth the money or not. i plan on doing a full tube front suspension set up. fwiw i spent 650 on a be cool rad and 700 on a meziere ele. water pump because i want the very best components on my car. was it worth the money? it was worth every penny to me.

I'm doing everything from UMI and both uppers and lowers will be adjustable and chromoly arms, I figured its only about $160 more for the chromo arms and I have gone this far why not save for a little more and get the stronger parts. Everything I have gotten from UMI has been the best quality IMHO and I can't wait to see the k member in my hands, only a few more weeks

I am having a hard time justifying the arms, the K member cuts 25# and for twice as much I get the a arms and they cut 6 lbs. $500 can cut a lot more weight off all but the most extreme cars. I do realize that the A arms are unsuspended weight, but still I would have to question how much more of a differance it really makes.

The K-Member itself you will see a substantial amount of weight loss, we have one of the lightest K-members on the market right now. The lower a-arms you will see a couple pounds there and the uppers you just don't see much if any weight loss from swapping them out but the adjustable ends are always a plus to have.
