just swapping the k-member will save you like 6 lbs.

its hardly anything. when i swapped mine, i compared them, i barely noticed a difference.

most of the weight saving comes from the tubular upper and lower a-arms.

I would assume that if that is the case about the weight, then the biggest benefit would be the room you save.

Again, I am more into road racing than 1/4, what is the difference between the drag, turbo and road K-member? I see there is a difference in price, so what is the difference in design?

the a arma are not that much of a weight savings the top weght is the same,. Now brakes thats where the weight is ... I have all the trick stuff . Pa custom Kmember , Sathuff abs delete spindles shortened a arms with spherical brarings and rod ends and wilwood brakes .85 lbs off the front also small diamiter springs whith strange double adjustable shocks . The lightest you can be with stock bolt location and i have tried it all. The k member is a good peice to start with and the BMR is not lite but it is strong and gives you lots of room i have a turbo car and i would hate to think i had to do one with the stock k member.

Yeah my turbo kit barely fits with my BMR K member. I never really looked at it from a weight savings perspective though. It really opens up the under area of the car.
