Alignment issues after k-member install..
I just instaled a BMR k-member last week, and the alignment was aweful as expected. I brought it to get aligned today and they said they couldn't get it aligned and I need adjustable lower a-arms
He is a gearhead and didn't charge me since he couldn't get it right, but what should I do? I know there are plenty of people running stock a-arms on a tubular k-member, and I don't want to spend the coin on a-arms..

I would recommend trying another alignment shop.....
A lot of alignment shops are thrown off if the factory alignment tool can't be used...
Our K-member actually offer a broader alignment correction window then the factory K-member.
If you are still having issues just give me a call here at the office and I am sure we can figure out the issue.

The guy who was doing the original alignment is building a turbo 5.3 in an rx7, so I figured he would know what he was doing..

Looked at it last night, and the passenger wheel is visibly pointing out, but the front slot of the a-arm is moved all the way in. My thoughts are to move the whole k-member slightly towards the drivers side, you can see the bolts are sitting on the drivers side of the mounts, as well as move the rear of the a-arm out to straighten the wheel.
Thoughts?
All I want to do is get it close enough for a shop to do a real alignment..

Having issues guys, can't figure out what doing on to make it so far out... did my best with the pics. These pictures are with the steering wheel straight, or atleast what I think is straight unless I messed up the linkage?

Passenger side
You can see that the k-member could be slid toward the drivers side, but is that really the issue?

I talked to Kyle at BMR and he seemed like a great guy and was helpful. He even got on ls1tech to look at the pictures I posted I'm currently at a different (presumably better) alignment shop and they said they can do it
I'll let you guys know how it goes, thanks for all the help!
