Default K member question

looking at getting a tubular k member for the LT1 this week and was looking at either a BMR or Racecraft. Prices are about the same and they both are good pieces. Is there a noticable weight difference between the two? still have factory rack and pinion. Thanks

RaceCraft makes high quality products.
I don't remember what mine weighed exactly, but it was very light.

Hello
This is just another suggestion for you. UMI Performance offers aftermarket K Members as well. And if you are looking to shed some weight off of the vehicle you have the opportunity to cut 25 + lbs off. Below is a link to show you what I am explaining.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

PA might be light but the UMI is still the best one. The double center bars sold me after seeing a few smashed oil pans.
