Default Any street cars running Midwest front Kmember?

Very impressed with their rears which I have seen on 5 different cars. I want to run a tubular Kmember on my car to knock weight off the front but want to make sure it can handle street use(I like taking my car to the beach etc....its a B4c which is light but not gutted) I have seen three BMRs crack/break in last 6 years on street cars so I am cautious.
I know Andy has one but he just got it so no time for feedback on his-anyone else?

I do not see any information about it on their website. How much do they cost? Do they require you to run motor plates?

Not sure about the motor plates. Cost depends on how you want it set up. Last I heard its not on the page you need to call.

From what I've read, I believe the BMR k-member problem is a thing of the past. I've heard several times the same story about them cracking, but BMR has moved to a different, much less problematic design if I remember correctly.

You are correct........

We have been producing K-members now for the 4th Gen market for nearly 9 years and developed many of the key features that are still being used by the industry today.

Our most recent version has been released some 5+ years ago and has not had one failure to date period....

Our off the shelf K-member can be found on the front of some of the fastest stock suspension cars in the country..

Let me know if you have any questions regarding our products
