Hello,

Any reason you are choosing the PA k-member over others? Is the price the factor?

Price is a little of the factor, but the new design of their k member looks really nice and alot stronger.

Don't get me wrong, you guys make a badass k member but its also more expensive.

I haven't made up my mind yet and am just weighing out the options

Hello,

Yes our K-member is priced about a $100 more... but we also have a lot more work and fabrication involved in this item. This item takes us an extensive part of one day to build and this is why we can not compete with some of the cheaper brands. However our item is designed for both street use and racing applications... not many other companies will make this claim. Our road race version is also being used in the American Iron series and CMC challenge with no failures.

The road race version will work just fine with the factory A-Arms as well.

I checked out PA's site and all the pictures of the K-member look the same... what do you mean by new design?

I attached a picture of our K-member... if you look closely you will see areas we have add reinforcement over the competitors designs. We have also lowered the rear center tube of the K-member slightly below the oil pan to protect it when being used on the street.. this is an over looked feature.

Thanks for considering us!
Ryan

Right now our K-members only come with intergrated motor mounts that except the factory rubber motor mounts or the prothane style motor mounts.

Hope that helps!
