Well, there are a few variables to go along with this;
How is the car going to be used? Turbo or a traditional style exhaust?

All of our k-members are high quality and durable for street use and daily driving. We have several designs depending on motor combination, use etc. Our units work with stock lower control arms, stock steering racks, stock motor mounts etc. The only thing you will have to change is the k-member itself. Our units save about 25lbs from stock as well

As long as they mount like factory arms then yes. Most available arms will work, as they mount up the same as factory arms. I know there are a couple of companies who make arms/k-members that are proprietary to each other

You should. The SPOHN works with the factory k-member so it should work with the BMR k-member since the BMR k-member works works with the factory a-arms.

The standard BMR k-member would be my first choice

Here are the links to the rest of the BMR k-members

I have a Midwest Chassis K-member in my car. I love it, light weight and fit perfect. It also has enough room for a 4-5" turbo down pipe to fit. if I ever decide to switch from a nitrous combo to turbo I don't have to buy a turbo K-member.

All the supporting sponsors here make good k-members, you can't go wrong with any of them. I personally went with a BMR. Also with all the discounts going on, would be the perfect time. I timed by k-member purchase with the BF sales that were going on.

Nope, you can use it with a regular combo as well. The turbo K just has a high-clearance design around the motor mount area to allow for large down pipe clearance, hot side routing etc. But it poses no interference issues if you are not using a turbo setup.

^^^^ this, I would buy the bmr because BMR will always have the rest of the suspension for your car (if you choose to upgrade the rest ever it will all match).

And I would spend the extra $100 or whatever it is for the peice of mind knowing you have a turbo k...(incase you ever decide to boost you don't need to remove the engine again)

Plus when you have your car up on the lift the BMR **** looks hot, at least on a white car it does
