BMR, UMI, or SPOHN k-member?? I am swapping a LT1 into my 96 camaro, and figured I might aswell save some room and weight by using a tubular k-member.
UMI has the cheapest one I can find, now I just wonder if it is worth it? Or if I should just pay a little more for a BMR or SPOHN version??
I tried contacting a sponsor but havent heard back yet. I will most likely call BUYNSPEED (I think) sometime today.
Thanks for any feedback guys,
ZACH

I had all UMI on my old car and was very satisfied with their quality and price.
The new car, however, is all BMR. Just got my BMR K member attached to the motor and that thing sure is pretty. Great quality also. I know BMR usually runs a HUGE sale sometime in the spring, that's when I bought the K member, got it for 360 shipped. Just FYI.

I have all 3 parts on my car, as far as K member, not as of yet. All 3 companies make good parts, get the one that works with your setup. BMR sells a specific "Turbo" K member that will give you that clearence needed IF you ever go FI.
You cant go wrong either way.

I might have been confused (I usually am) but I thought the turbo k member was for use with a motor plate, I looked because I would like to turbo the camaro down the line, but I wasn't trying to do all that as of right now. when I go turbo I might just get a moly k member 
But again, I could be wrong about the motor plate part.

Umi I had full UMI suspension on my 87 Grand National. On my current 96 T/A I have almost every available UMI componet on the car now (with exception of the K-member which will be ordered this coming spring) Great Parts, Great Pricing and Great Customer Service. You wont be dissapointed with UMI.

BlackScreaminMachine I think they make both, someone gave me a number for the turbo style with mounts, and its not the one I have seen online (turbo style for motor plate), so thats all I can figure. lol
I actually ordered my UMI from byunspeed yesterday. I hope to see it next week but if not I can wait till the week after.
Thanks for all the help fellas.

UMI dude. For sure. The one I had fit great and looked even better. Plus if you wait until November you'll see UMI has like a 20% off deal. I got mine for $387 shipped from Byunspeed back in November. Just be patient and wait until then and get a UMI.

I wonder how many people that have posted actually own a ___brand____ k-member...
and those that do, I wonder how many people have any experience at all with any other k-member besides the one they are running.
either way, what are you intentions with the car? I'm not a brand specific person myself, I just look around at what company has the best item to offer for whatever I'm looking to buy. In this case, I run a Spohn K-member
