Default K members

So I want to compare the weight of three popular k members on one thread so if you could fill in the blank It would be nice no motor plates and always included would be stock mounts with aftermarket stands if needed no stock cast


UMI K member steel with chromoly uppers and lower
total weight ? Savings = 35 lbs non autocross

BMR K member steel with steel a arms ( correct me if there are chromoly)
total weight ? Savings = ?

Spohn K member chromoly and also on a arms ( also correct if wrong )
total weight ? Savings= ?

Hello, our BMR KM003 k member and lower a arms are dom steel and when combined with our upper a arms will save you 42lbs over a stock setup. The KM003 is made from 1 5/8" .120 and 1 1/4" dom steel. BMR has been making k members longer than any other company. They can withstand the abuse of an everyday driver or a 2500hp drag car. We also offer turbo versions for added clearance. Hope this answers your questions.

I don't think that the difference is worth between UMI , BMR and Spohn weight .. if it is only 8 lbs ! ..

UMI - BMR - Spohn .. all can make the lightest K-Member ! .. but you should take care about your life when its brake !! ..

I'm currently running on UMI K-Member and i'm sutisfied with it

I just bought the UMI piece a little while back. I am happy with the quality of it. I got the road race version because I wanted the extra rigidity and it was only like 2lbs heavier or something minute like that, so no big deal.

Main reason that I bought a K member is for a possible turbo setup in the future and damn it sure does free up some room under there.

I can't wait to outfit my car with some UMI suspension, esp. the K-member. I hate knowing that that heavy piece is on my car!
