thanks for the pics! we engineer everything to be as simple as it gets so your average guy can bolt this stuff in at home. it is all race inspired and can withstand roadcourse, drag racing, or street use and still be a comfortable ride. we custom build all these rearends to the customers specs and have more options than anyone else in the industry, and the best prices!
we also offer completely assembled rearends, ready to bolt in to your car, and better yet, if you bring your car to us we can install it for you. installation is basically the same cost as freight, so no huge expense after the purchase.

holy crap, ive spent the last few days reading this entrie thread. It might be way overkill at the moment, but I definately want to buy one of these rears when I get the money. Eric if you get a chance could you possibly pm me a list of the options and prices so I can get an idea on how much I need to save up. thanks

Hey Guys

I just wanted to post a few pictures of the Midwest Chassis front end that I put into my Drag Radial Car. The stuff that I had in it I wouldn't go 100MPH with but now with Eric's new front end I'm ready to go 200MPH.

The thing bolted right in with ease. The stuff is top notch and light. As soon as I get the rear all done and bolted in I will post some pictures of that.

Thanks for the great work and service.

Ed

The k-members sure are nice. I've been running mine all season, from April until october. I previously used a BMR setup and I dropped another 50 lbs going to Erics race stuff. I was the first person to get the "prototype" race kmember setup, and I have to say I've had no issues all year.

Yes, they will build it any way you want. I have a custom k-member ordered that should be just about done.

Im sure he could make one for the factory rack but I dont think hes making them with motor mounts so youd probably still have to use motor plates.

Borrowed this pic from another member. It's a Midwest piece. You don't have to use a motor plate.

Ours do come with stands but we can make them for motor plates as well. Just like our rear end builds we can do custom alterations to these if needed.

Yes you can use stock control arms, we build them to suit what ever need someone wants. The pic that yotaman96 posted shows the stands and we do offer solid motor mounts also or you can use the ones you currently have.

I will get some pricing pm'd over to you.

The K-members work well for the street, we have different versions for different uses just like everything else we manufacture. What you see in the pics of Mr. Eddie Krawiec is the race version. We do them with ball joints as well for street vehicles.

We can build these any way you would like, you can run just one of our K-Members and stock a-arms, you can run the k-member and our tubular control arms with the stock spindle. Also set up to use your stock rack or we can set them up like the Flaming River rack pictured which we keep in stock.
