I have one and was wondering if anyone else had used it, was wondering if it would be worth the effort to install it or should I just turn around and sell it. Car is mostly street with the occasional mountain run.

Thank you!

Its convenient for working under the car but a k member is a pain to swap for the little lost in weight IMO. If you aren't already pulling the engine, I wouldn't do it.

I don't know. Swapping the K-member out was a pretty easy job i thought. I did it all by myself on the floor in my garage with some jack stands. Just remember to take all 4 of the screws out holding the brake lines on, and the engine block ground so you don't rip it off. I took it off fully assembled with the lower control arms seeing as those were being replaced too.

I thought mine was easy to install as well, just took time doing it by myself. I only had jackstands and hand tools and I'm not that great of a mechanic and it went very straightforward. Honestly, I wish I did it years ago, the access I gained is immense, making everything easier to work on.

I just installed the turbo version of that k member and it was pretty straightforward. Just curious what people did with the brake hoses since there is no bracket
