I have installed over 10 BMR k-members and have one of my car. Very good quality and excellent fit.

For a daily driver, I would recommend the mild steel.

Definitely get the one with motor mount provisions.

why would you say mild steel over chrome-moly on a daily driver? I'd be worried about the mild steel fatiguing over time.

Another vote for the BMR. Mild steal flexs.. CM is stiffer more likey to break.

If fabricated properly the mild steel will be lying in pieces on the road before the Chromoly breaks. Assuming identical dimensions mild steel tubing is weaker than ChroMoly in every way shape and form.

Steel (mild or otherwise) if not taken beyond it's elastic limit can survive almost infinite cycling. If the K-Member were made out of AL you would have to worry about fatigue. This is assuming this product is fabricated correctly.
