I bought the UMI. Great K member and main benifit is the ability to reach components from the underside.

About 40 lbs lighter, but mainly it's just easier to get to components.

The k-member benefits are weight savings and added room for turbo piping and headers.

The UMI K-member was designed for street use, drag racing and also autocross set ups. We feel we offer one of the strongest designs on the market, we had to sacrafice a little weight savings for this deisgn but we feel it is worth it.

Check out this customers feedback when his UMI k-member hit the track after his wheel stand- http://www.umiperformance.com/news/?p=373

If you have any questions we can help with please ask. Thanks!

I run a UMI and the double bar along the bottom gives a lot of piece of mind and as sd said, the ability to work under the car without contorting my hands into odd positions is a godsend.

Ok thanks for the feed back, I am looking for something to get more access from under, save some weight and add some support. I'll be looking into the UMI for sure possibly a add some front lca's too.
