Default Spohn K member with front mount turbo...

Any guys using this K member with a single front-mount turbo + FMIC setup? I have a PTK. Any clearance issues? I'm about to pull the trigger on a new K member and upper/lower arms to free up space, lose weight, and hopefully allow some extra clearance from hot parts.

Spohn offers some options: for the lowers, spherical rod ends or Del-sphere pivot joints. On the uppers, poly bushings or delrin bushings or spherical rod-ends. What should I choose??? This car is a daily driver and strip car. No auto-x or road course use. I want a normal ride quality with good 60' times, that's all.

And what is the exact weight savings for the Spohn vs. stock piece? The Spohn looks heavier than the BMR "turbo style" K member...

Thanks...

Get the BMR Turbo K-member. It will save you a ton of headaches and allow you to run a bigger down pipe.

I bought the spohn k member, upper and lower control arms. But i have not installed them yet. I hope to install them next week. I am running a gtm-78 turbo so I will let you know if there are down pipe issues.
