I don't know anything about that company, if it helps my AJE Racing K-member works with the stock rack. It also give much more room for headers and makes plug changes easier!

I've heard of profab. I think their name was actually "profab racing"? no? They used to have a website and lower prices compared to others. I dont know about the quality or customer service they offer since I never purchased anything from them but, there are numerous posts involving them if you do a search for "profab". I believe they were an active sponsor at one time but were removed for not paying their bill on here. Just did a quick sponsor search and they are not an active one at least. Thast all I know.

JUNK throw it away, nothing but bad news from pro-fab...i had 3 different friends who got the wrong products from them, 1 got the wrong brackets for his rack and had to make his own, 1 got 3 wrong k-members, including a goddamn FOX BODY MUSTANG k-member, and 1 got a setup for coil overs with no spring perches before they made bolt on perches

customer service was absolutely horrid too, even i called a few times to help one of them out and they were just ignorant and unhelpful...after those experiences i wouldn't use one of their products if you gave it to me

ive got profab lca's and k-member. it fits with the stock rack and bolts right up. chromoly, red, adn my strut tower is profab too. they are all chromoly and red. very light. the paint doesnt chip easily either (not that its important)
BTW i could give 3 about customer service when the company isnt around anymore but thats just me.
and yes, its much easier to work around and the weight makes a difference. my car has suprised many people. they ask what are your mods? and are blown away thats its as fast as it is but most people dont realize what the weight difference means.
