K member and a arm manufacturers is there any other high quality k member's out on the market aside from midwest Chassis, UMI, and BMR??
I placed my order and paid for my setup from midwest over 2 and a half months ago, about a month ago they were saying another 3 weeks with no definitive date, now 4 weeks later they are saying another 20 units ahead of me still. I have literally all midwest chassis stuff on my car now, and wanted to keep it that way, and love the quality and fit, but it's getting to the point now where I'm going to end up missing the first few points races if I don't get this thing wrapped up. Anybody used any of the racecraft parts or any other places to try? Just looking to get this car wrapped up before the season and that's the last pieces I'm waiting on.

UMI is making the strongest K member on the market I believe. All USA manufactured. All their stuff is top notch. The new ones might have some additional ackerman geometry added for better turning (I know they were working on it, not sure if its been finalized to production yet).

I wasn't a huge fan of the UMI one I helped a buddy install. I am waiting for going to get on the horn to PA tomorrow and see what they say. I was really hoping have the midwest setup with the 2 piece lower a arms and no slots, hence why I ordered and paid for it. Too bad those guys don't want to build the parts they sell.

We have finally caught up on k-members from our sale. I have some on the shelf and what I don't have can be built within a matter of a week or 2. Our k members are strong enough for street duty, and light enough for racing applications. Our turbo k members offer the most clearance of any available

We definitely got hit hard on K-Members and complete front end kits from the promotion sale, Black Friday, and X-Mas gifts. From 11-6 to 12-31 the amount of K-Members order was unheard of as well as rear end packages.
Sure we could of rushed them out but we still go through all the steps necessary to make sure we shipped out a functional product that our customers will not have fitment issues with. We still test fit every K-Member in a vehicle before it goes to powder coating to make sure everything fits without issue. We not only test vehicle fitment we also test A-Arm fitment.
Sure we could stop these steps and get product out sooner but it is these steps in manufacturing that set our product apart from the next guys. We are also making other changes here as Midwest Chassis is still a growing small personable business and we would like to keep that relationship with our customers and not think of you as a credit card number especially as we are going through some growing pains. We appreciate all our customers.
Charlie I responded to your email this morning so feel free to respond when ever you get a chance.

We adjusted the ackerman slightly, there isn't much room there to move the big rack around. We also raised the roll center with the k-member. We haven't officially advertised these units yet but they are in stock and just need us to finish the press release.
Thanks!
