I wouldn't trust PA racing. They claim that they can loose so much weight with their K-member set-up and what they claimed isn't even possible. I called them out on their weight loss on another site and they have since changed their information.

Plus Lee at BMR worked out a good price for me where as PA Racing wouldn't even consider a better price unless I spent $3500 with them and got a dealers license.

Plus there have been several people that had trouble with the quality of the PA racing K-member. It has proven itself to not be a street/strip K-member.
Do a search here on them and you'll see what others have said.

I was looking at buying one of their K-members, before I did some research.

The thing I looked at was UMI, Sphoon and BMR Fabrication all charge in the $500 range for thier (mild steel) k-members. Each has their own selling point but the prices are comparable. Whereas the PA racing K-member (mild steel) can be had for around $350-400. What you have to ask is how can it be that much cheaper for basicly the same product. Something has to give. Maybe its quality or less material I don't know. But I do know that no one is in the business to loose money and to have a cheaper price you have to have less in it.

I know UMI, Sphoon, BMR, and PA Racing have to make money but when somebody has an price that is alot lower than the other three it makes you wonder about how they were able to get it that low.

Of course its your money and your car. But a K-member is something that has alot riding on it. Whereas a panhard bar could be bought for at a lower price with a tad bit less quality.

FWIW, I bought a BMR Fabrication K-member, adj panhard bar, & adj lower control arms and with a discounted price I came out cheaper than had I bought everything thru PA racing. Hence the comment about in my previous post about who was willing to give me a better deal on a large purchase.

Good luck with your car and I hope your able to get the product that best fits your needs.

Thanks, I appreciate the constructive help.

I've done the racing thing for several years, just new to the 4th gen swap. Just trying to feel my way through it.
