thanks ryan.
Can you list the weights on your differnt Kmember models alone, lower,upper front arms.


I've found other posting these numbers
PA racing Kmember (with stock cast iron LS1 stands) 31.5lbs

BMR lower front arms were 5#s per arm. And 20-21lbs savings over stock lower arms.

20-21 lbs for A-Arms is impossible, there site list a 7lb savings over the factory lower A-Arms, very similar to ours at 8lbs.

All our weights are listed on our site in each kit seen here- http://www.umiperformance.com/produc...ategory_id=137

Hope that helps,
Ryan

A GM LS1 Kmember with the cast iron engine stands weights 56-57Lbs.
The current normal BMR steel Kmembers with LS1 stands weighs 25lbs FYI. How did you only get 27lb savings with LCAs also? Was that an older one without the egine stands, and you had to reuse the heavy cast iron ones?

Dose anyone else, have weights of there parts they can list.

BMR K-member - 28lbs
BMR LCAs - 10 each
Total - 48lbs

Stock K with LCAs - 75lbs

75-48= 27lbs saved.
It has tubular motor stands like the new ones.

I put the PA racing k member in today. Every thing fit well. I have to make some brakets to hold the brake lines but that won't take much.
