Lightest "street" K member out there
I always thought that BMR had the lightest K-member at 24.5 lbs, but when I read racecrafts website It says they have one for 20.2 lbs w/motor mounts included. Is this streetable or strictly for drag racing, because if so it would make it the lightest out there. Does anyone have any experience with this K member or any imput on weight?

I'm running Racecraft's K-member on my 02' Camaro which is driven every day and driven to the track occasionally. It fit great and no problems w/ driving all over the place. Honestly though, we don't have any experience w/ anyone else's K-members besides theirs in the F-bodies.

If you have to bolt the factory cast iron mounts back onto the Racecraft unit it the weight is going to escalate pretty quick. Our K-member has integrated motor mounts so the factory stands are not needed.
If you have any other questions regarding our products please feel free to ask

Yhe im still a little confused, im not sure if the racecraft one needs you to use your own mounts. It does however say 15 lbs with no mounts and 20 with them.... heres the website, let me know if u think it uses stock or integrated motormounts.

So can you not use the Spohn solid motor mounts with the BMR k-member?? If you want solids you need to run the Racecraft??
Just curious as I plan on a k-member & solid motor mounts within the next year.
Also on the Racecraft does it accept aftermarket as well as stock upper/lower a-arms?? I believe BMR does, but just not sure if you can use solid mounts on BMR.

BMR does make K members without integrated motor mounts.

I checked UMI's site but didn't see a k-member without integrated motor mounts. So I guess you can't run their k-member with solid mounts.
